  2. Ambiguity function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguity_function

    In pulsed radar and sonar signal processing, an ambiguity function is a two-dimensional function of propagation delay and Doppler frequency, (,).It represents the distortion of a returned pulse due to the receiver matched filter [1] (commonly, but not exclusively, used in pulse compression radar) of the return from a moving target.

  3. Coupling (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(physics)

    In classical mechanics, coupling is a connection between two oscillating systems, such as pendulums connected by a spring. The connection affects the oscillatory pattern of both objects. In particle physics, two particles are coupled if they are connected by one of the four fundamental forces.

  4. Quantum coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_coupling

    Quantum coupling is an effect in quantum mechanics in which two or more quantum systems are bound such that a change in one of the quantum states in one of the ...

  5. Coupling constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_constant

    The dependence of a coupling g(μ) on the energy-scale is known as "running of the coupling". The theory of the running of couplings is given by the renormalization group , though it should be kept in mind that the renormalization group is a more general concept describing any sort of scale variation in a physical system (see the full article ...

  6. Doppler broadening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_broadening

    In atomic physics, Doppler broadening is broadening of spectral lines due to the Doppler effect caused by a distribution of velocities of atoms or molecules. Different velocities of the emitting (or absorbing ) particles result in different Doppler shifts, the cumulative effect of which is the emission (absorption) line broadening. [ 1 ]

  7. Fermi contact interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_contact_interaction

    The interaction was first derived by Enrico Fermi in 1930. [7] A classical derivation of this term is contained in "Classical Electrodynamics" by J. D. Jackson. [8] In short, the classical energy may be written in terms of the energy of one magnetic dipole moment in the magnetic field B(r) of another dipole.

  8. Zeeman effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeeman_effect

    The Paschen–Back effect is the splitting of atomic energy levels in the presence of a strong magnetic field. This occurs when an external magnetic field is sufficiently strong to disrupt the coupling between orbital and spin angular momenta. This effect is the strong-field limit of the Zeeman effect.

  9. Coupled mode theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupled_Mode_Theory

    Coupled mode theory (CMT) is a perturbational approach for analyzing the coupling of vibrational systems (mechanical, optical, electrical, etc.) in space or in time. Coupled mode theory allows a wide range of devices and systems to be modeled as one or more coupled resonators.
