  2. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The solid angle subtended at the corner of a cube (an octant) or spanned by a spherical octant is π /2 sr, one-eight of the solid angle of a sphere. [ 1 ] Solid angles can also be measured in square degrees (1 sr = ( 180/ π ) 2 square degrees), in square arc-minutes and square arc-seconds , or in fractions of the sphere (1 sr = ⁠ 1 / 4 π ...

  3. Steradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steradian

    The solid angle subtended is the same as that of a cone with the same projected area. A solid angle of one steradian subtends a cone aperture of approximately 1.144 radians or 65.54 degrees. In the SI, solid angle is considered to be a dimensionless quantity, the ratio of the area projected onto a surrounding sphere and the square of the sphere ...

  4. Radiant intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_intensity

    Radiant intensity is used to characterize the emission of radiation by an antenna: [2], = (), where E e is the irradiance of the antenna;; r is the distance from the antenna.; Unlike power density, radiant intensity does not depend on distance: because radiant intensity is defined as the power through a solid angle, the decreasing power density over distance due to the inverse-square law is ...

  5. Luminous intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_intensity

    Luminous intensity is the perceived power per unit solid angle. If a lamp has a 1 lumen bulb and the optics of the lamp are set up to focus the light evenly into a 1 steradian beam, then the beam would have a luminous intensity of 1 candela. If the optics were changed to concentrate the beam into 1/2 steradian then the source would have a ...

  6. Directivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directivity

    The directivity is defined as the ratio of the maximum signal strength S radiated by the antenna to the signal strength S iso radiated by the isotropic antenna = Since the directional antenna radiates most of its power into a small solid angle around the z-axis its maximum signal strength is much larger than the isotropic antenna which spreads ...

    Diagram showing a section through the centre of a cone (1) subtending a solid angle of 1 steradian in a sphere of radius r, along with the spherical "cap" (2). The fact that the external surface of the cap has an area of r 2 is shown. Note that this applies only if the solid angle of the cone is exactly 1 steradian. Date: 30 September 2007: Source

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Solid_Angle,_1...

    English: A solid angle is a three-dimensional analog of a circular angle that relates a portion of the volume of a sphere to the surface area it subtends. If that area equals the sphere’s radius squared, the solid angle is one steradian. This diagram displays two solid angles of one steradian, viewed from different directions.
