  2. Cross-ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-ratio

    The point D is the harmonic conjugate of C with respect to A and B precisely if the cross-ratio of the quadruple is −1, called the harmonic ratio. The cross-ratio can therefore be regarded as measuring the quadruple's deviation from this ratio; hence the name anharmonic ratio. The cross-ratio is preserved by linear fractional transformations.

  3. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    The characteristic impedance () of an infinite transmission line at a given angular frequency is the ratio of the voltage and current of a pure sinusoidal wave of the same frequency travelling along the line. This relation is also the case for finite transmission lines until the wave reaches the end of the line.

  4. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    To match the impedances, both cables must be connected to a matching transformer with a turns ratio of 2:1. In this example, the 300-ohm line is connected to the transformer side with more turns; the 75-ohm cable is connected to the transformer side with fewer turns. The formula for calculating the transformer turns ratio for this example is:

  5. Quarter-wave impedance transformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter-wave_impedance...

    Looking towards a load through a length l of lossless transmission line, the normalized impedance changes as l increases, following the blue circle. At l=λ/4, the normalized impedance is reflected about the centre of the chart. Standing waves on a transmission line with an open-circuit load (top), and a short-circuit load (bottom).

  6. Engineering notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_notation

    Engineering notation or engineering form (also technical notation) is a version of scientific notation in which the exponent of ten is always selected to be divisible by three to match the common metric prefixes, i.e. scientific notation that aligns with powers of a thousand, for example, 531×10 3 instead of 5.31×10 5 (but on calculator displays written without the ×10 to save space).

  7. Root locus analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_locus_analysis

    The line of constant damping just described spirals in indefinitely but in sampled data systems, frequency content is aliased down to lower frequencies by integral multiples of the Nyquist frequency. That is, the sampled response appears as a lower frequency and better damped as well since the root in the z -plane maps equally well to the first ...

  8. Signed overpunch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_overpunch

    The C language has no provision for zoned decimal. The IBM ILE C/C++ compiler for System i provides functions for conversion between int or double and zoned decimal: [8] QXXDTOZ() — Convert Double to Zoned Decimal; QXXITOZ() — Convert Integer to Zoned Decimal; QXXZTOD() — Convert Zoned Decimal to Double; QXXZTOI() — Convert Zoned ...

  9. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    Other methods attempt to increase the signal-to-clutter ratio. Clutter moves with the wind or is stationary. Two common strategies to improve measure or performance in a clutter environment are: Moving target indication, which integrates successive pulses and; Doppler processing, which uses filters to separate clutter from desirable signals.
