  2. Time of arrival - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_arrival

    Time of arrival (TOA or ToA) is the absolute time instant when a radio signal emanating from a transmitter reaches a remote receiver. The time span elapsed since the time of transmission ( TOT or ToT ) is the time of flight (TOF or ToF).

  3. Angle of arrival - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_arrival

    The aim is either for the cell system to report the location of a cell phone placing an emergency call or to provide a service to tell the user of the cell phone where they are. Multiple receivers on a base station would calculate the AoA of the cell phone's signal, and this information would be combined to determine the phone's location.

  4. Direction of arrival - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_of_arrival

    Advanced sophisticated techniques perform joint direction of arrival and time of arrival (ToA) estimation to allow a more accurate localization of a node. This also has the merit of localizing more targets with less antenna resources.

  5. Pseudo-range multilateration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-range_multilateration

    Pseudo-range multilateration, often simply multilateration (MLAT) when in context, is a technique for determining the position of an unknown point, such as a vehicle, based on measurement of biased times of flight (TOFs) of energy waves traveling between the vehicle and multiple stations at known locations.

  6. Mnemonics in trigonometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonics_in_trigonometry

    Signs of trigonometric functions in each quadrant. All Students Take Calculus is a mnemonic for the sign of each trigonometric functions in each quadrant of the plane. The letters ASTC signify which of the trigonometric functions are positive, starting in the top right 1st quadrant and moving counterclockwise through quadrants 2 to 4.

  7. Mechanical calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_calculator

    Friden made a calculator that also provided square roots, basically by doing division, but with added mechanism that automatically incremented the number in the keyboard in a systematic fashion. The last of the mechanical calculators were likely to have short-cut multiplication, and some ten-key, serial-entry types had decimal-point keys.

  8. Optical depth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_depth

    Spectral optical depth in frequency and spectral optical depth in wavelength of a material, denoted and respectively, are given by: [1] = (,,) = ⁡ = (,,) = ⁡, where , is the spectral radiant flux in frequency transmitted by that material;

  9. Galileo (satellite navigation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation)

    The NSU information is used to calculate the position of the receiver by trilaterating the difference in received signals from multiple satellites. The onboard passive hydrogen maser and rubidium clocks are very stable over a few hours.
