  2. Parabolic antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_antenna

    The operating principle of a parabolic antenna is that a point source of radio waves at the focal point in front of a paraboloidal reflector of conductive material will be reflected into a collimated plane wave beam along the axis of the reflector.

  3. Logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    The inverse of addition is subtraction, and the inverse of multiplication is division. Similarly, a logarithm is the inverse operation of exponentiation . Exponentiation is when a number b , the base , is raised to a certain power y , the exponent , to give a value x ; this is denoted b y = x . {\displaystyle b^{y}=x.}

  4. Fermi–Dirac statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi–Dirac_statistics

    Fermi–Dirac statistics is a type of quantum statistics that applies to the physics of a system consisting of many non-interacting, identical particles that obey the Pauli exclusion principle.

  5. Beta distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the beta distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions defined on the interval [0, 1] or (0, 1) in terms of two positive parameters, denoted by alpha (α) and beta (β), that appear as exponents of the variable and its complement to 1, respectively, and control the shape of the distribution.

  6. Chebyshev filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_filter

    A standard full-equi-ripple Inverse Chebyshev filter for this application would result in an over designed filter. Constricting the equi-ripple to a defined percentage of the stop band creates a more efficient design, reducing the size of the filter and potentially eliminating one or two components, which is useful in maximizing board space ...

  7. Gamma correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction

    The power-law function, or its inverse, has a slope of infinity at zero. This leads to problems in converting from and to a gamma colorspace. For this reason most formally defined colorspaces such as sRGB will define a straight-line segment near zero and add raising x + K (where K is a constant) to a power so the curve has continuous slope ...

  8. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    In Newton's law, it is the proportionality constant connecting the gravitational force between two bodies with the product of their masses and the inverse square of their distance. In the Einstein field equations , it quantifies the relation between the geometry of spacetime and the energy–momentum tensor (also referred to as the stress ...

  9. Fractional Brownian motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_Brownian_motion

    In probability theory, fractional Brownian motion (fBm), also called a fractal Brownian motion, is a generalization of Brownian motion.Unlike classical Brownian motion, the increments of fBm need not be independent.
