  2. Squint (antenna) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squint_(antenna)

    An example of squint caused by two differing frequencies. In a phased array or slotted waveguide antenna, squint refers to the angle that the transmission is offset from the normal of the plane of the antenna. In simple terms, it is the change in the beam direction as a function of operating frequency, polarization, or orientation. [1]

  3. Electro-optic modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-optic_modulator

    The beam splitter divides the laser light into two paths, one of which has a phase modulator as described above. The beams are then recombined. Changing the electric field on the phase modulating path will then determine whether the two beams interfere constructively or destructively at the output, and thereby control the amplitude or intensity ...

  4. Passive electronically scanned array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_electronically...

    A passive electronically scanned array (PESA), also known as passive phased array, is an antenna in which the beam of radio waves can be electronically steered to point in different directions (that is, a phased array antenna), in which all the antenna elements are connected to a single transmitter (such as a magnetron, a klystron or a ...

  5. Squint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squint

    A man squinting on a sunny day. Squinting is the action of looking at something with partially closed eyes. [1]Squinting is most often practiced by people who suffer from refractive errors of the eye who either do not have or are not using their glasses.

  6. Beamforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamforming

    Beamforming or spatial filtering is a signal processing technique used in sensor arrays for directional signal transmission or reception. [1] This is achieved by combining elements in an antenna array in such a way that signals at particular angles experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference.

  7. Squint (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squint_(disambiguation)

    A squint is the action of tightening of the muscles around the eye. Squint may also refer to: Squint, a term for strabismus; Squint, a 1993 album by Steve Taylor; Squint (antenna), an angle of transmission offset; Squint (opening) (hagioscope), an opening through the wall of a church in an oblique direction; Squint Entertainment, a record label

  8. Grating lobes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grating_lobes

    A typical radiation pattern of phased arrays whose inter-element spacing is greater than half a wavelength, hence the radiation pattern has grating lobes.. For discrete aperture antennas (such as phased arrays) in which the element spacing is greater than a half wavelength, a spatial aliasing effect allows plane waves incident to the array from visible angles other than the desired direction ...

  9. Pencil (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil_(optics)

    A pencil-beam radar A moving or sweeping pencil-beam radar. In optics, a pencil or pencil of rays, also known as a pencil beam or narrow beam, is a geometric construct (pencil of half-lines) used to describe a beam or portion of a beam of electromagnetic radiation or charged particles, typically in the form of a cone or cylinder.
