  2. Retardation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retardation_factor

    An R F value will always be in the range 0 to 1; if the substance moves, it can only move in the direction of the solvent flow, and cannot move faster than the solvent. For example, if particular substance in an unknown mixture travels 2.5 cm and the solvent front travels 5.0 cm, the retardation factor would be 0.50.

    However the same 6:1 mismatch through 75 meters of RG-8A coax would incur 10.8 dB of loss at 146 MHz. [ 5 ] (pp19.4–19.6) Thus, a better match of the antenna to the feed line, that is, a lower SWR, becomes increasingly important with increasing frequency, even if the transmitter is able to accommodate the impedance seen (or an antenna tuner ...

    For example, the intensity of radiation from the Sun is 9126 watts per square meter at the distance of Mercury (0.387 AU); but only 1367 watts per square meter at the distance of Earth (1 AU)—an approximate threefold increase in distance results in an approximate ninefold decrease in intensity of radiation.

    using SI units of meters for , hertz (s −1) for , and meters per second (m⋅s −1) for , (where c=299 792 458 m/s in vacuum, ≈ 300 000 km/s) For typical radio applications, it is common to find d {\displaystyle d} measured in kilometers and f {\displaystyle f} in gigahertz , in which case the FSPL equation becomes

  6. Response factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_factor

    The response factor can be expressed on a molar, volume or mass [1] basis. Where the true amount of sample and standard are equal: = where A is the signal (e.g. peak area) and the subscript i indicates the sample and the subscript st indicates the standard. [2]

  7. Gain (antenna) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain_(antenna)

    Since the directive antenna radiates the same total power within a small angle along the z axis, it can have a higher signal strength in that direction than the isotropic antenna, and so a gain greater than one. In electromagnetics, an antenna's gain is a key performance parameter which combines the antenna's directivity and radiation efficiency.

  8. Relative permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_permittivity

    In the high-frequency region, which extends from radio frequencies to the far infrared and terahertz region, the plasma frequency of the electron gas is much greater than the electromagnetic propagation frequency, so the refractive index n of a metal is very nearly a purely imaginary number. In the low frequency regime, the effective relative ...

  9. Reflectance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflectance

    Reflectivity is the square of the magnitude of the Fresnel reflection coefficient, [4] which is the ratio of the reflected to incident electric field; [5] as such the reflection coefficient can be expressed as a complex number as determined by the Fresnel equations for a single layer, whereas the reflectance is always a positive real number.
