  2. Network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_throughput

    Network throughput (or just throughput, when in context) refers to the rate of message delivery over a communication channel, such as Ethernet or packet radio, in a communication network. The data that these messages contain may be delivered over physical or logical links, or through network nodes. Throughput is usually measured in bits per ...

  3. Channel length modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_length_modulation

    In textbooks, channel length modulation in active mode usually is described using the Shichman–Hodges model, accurate only for old technology: [2] where = drain current, ′ = technology parameter sometimes called the transconductance coefficient, W, L = MOSFET width and length, = gate-to-source voltage, =threshold voltage, = drain-to-source voltage, =, and λ = channel-length modulation ...

  4. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_frequency...

    Orthogonality. Conceptually, OFDM is a specialized frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) method, with the additional constraint that all subcarrier signals within a communication channel are orthogonal to one another. In OFDM, the subcarrier frequencies are chosen so that the subcarriers are orthogonal to each other, meaning that crosstalk ...

  5. Photomultiplier tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomultiplier_Tube

    Each dynode is held at a more positive potential, by ≈100 Volts, than the preceding one. A primary electron leaves the photocathode with the energy of the incoming photon, or about 3 eV for "blue" photons, minus the work function of the photocathode. A small group of primary electrons is created by the arrival of a group of initial photons.

  6. Ligand-gated ion channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand-gated_ion_channel

    Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred to as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na +, K +, Ca 2+, and/or Cl − to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter. [1][2][3] When ...

  7. Entrance length (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_length_(fluid...

    In fluid dynamics, the entrance length is the distance a flow travels after entering a pipe before the flow becomes fully developed. [1] Entrance length refers to the length of the entry region, the area following the pipe entrance where effects originating from the interior wall of the pipe propagate into the flow as an expanding boundary ...

  8. Channel capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_capacity

    Channel capacity is additive over independent channels. [4] It means that using two independent channels in a combined manner provides the same theoretical capacity as using them independently. More formally, let and be two independent channels modelled as above; having an input alphabet and an output alphabet .

  9. Short-channel effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-channel_effect

    Short-channel effect. In electronics, short-channel effects occur in MOSFETs in which the channel length is comparable to the depletion layer widths of the source and drain junctions. These effects include, in particular, drain-induced barrier lowering, velocity saturation, quantum confinement and hot carrier degradation. [1][2]
