  2. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_(radio)

    Polar plots of the horizontal cross sections of a (virtual) Yagi–Uda antenna. The outline connects points with equal field power. The radiation pattern of an antenna is a plot of the relative field strength of the radio waves emitted by the antenna at different angles in the far field. It is typically represented by a three-dimensional graph ...

  3. Polarity symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_symbols

    Diagram showing positive tip polarity on the left and negative tip polarity on the right. To read diagram: The center positive drawing on the left indicates that the center (also known as the tip) of the output plug is positive (+) and the barrel (ring) of the output plug is negative (−). Center positive symbol Center negative symbol

  4. DC connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_connector

    The 'tip' (i.e., the inner conductor) usually carries the positive (+) pole, but some devices and their power supplies use the negative tip. The connector size does not usually indicate the voltage. It is not possible, except for some proprietary connectors, to reliably infer any information on power parameters (current, voltage, polarity, even ...

  5. Polar diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_diagram

    A polar diagram could refer to: Polar area diagram, a type of pie chart; Radiation pattern, in antenna theory; A diagram based on polar coordinates; Spherical coordinate system, the three-dimensional form of a polar response curve; In sailing, a Polar diagram is a graph that shows a sailing boats potential wind speed over a range of wind and ...

  6. Polar mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_mount

    A polar mount is a movable mount for satellite dishes that allows the dish to be pointed at many geostationary satellites by slewing around one axis. [1] It works by having its slewing axis parallel, or almost parallel, to the Earth's polar axis so that the attached dish can follow, approximately, the geostationary orbit, which lies in the plane of the Earth's equator.

  7. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    Once the radius is fixed, the three coordinates (r, θ, φ), known as a 3-tuple, provide a coordinate system on a sphere, typically called the spherical polar coordinates. The plane passing through the origin and perpendicular to the polar axis (where the polar angle is a right angle) is called the reference plane (sometimes fundamental plane).

  8. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gear_nomenclature

    Involute polar angle. Expressed as θ, the involute polar angle is the angle between a radius vector to a point, P, on an involute curve and a radial line to the intersection, A, of the curve with the base circle. [1]

  9. Tip-up (ice fishing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip-up_(ice_fishing)

    A tip-up is a device used while ice fishing to suspend live or frozen bait at a set depth through a hole drilled in the ice with an auger, and detect when a fish strikes, without having to be in contact with this piece of gear. When a fish does take the bait, a flag "tips up" or the flag can "tip down" to signal the angler that a fish has taken ...
