  2. Beam tilt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_tilt

    Occasionally, mechanical and electrical tilt will be used together in order to create greater beam tilt in one direction than the other, mainly to accommodate unusual terrain. Along with null fill , beam tilt is the essential parameter controlling the focus of radio communications , and together they can create almost infinite combinations of 3 ...

  3. The Flying Circus of Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flying_Circus_of_Physics

    The Flying Circus of Physics by Jearl Walker (1975, published by John Wiley and Sons; "with Answers" in 1977; 2nd edition in 2007), is a book that poses and answers 740 questions that are concerned with everyday physics. There is a strong emphasis upon phenomena that might be encountered in one's daily life.

  4. Relativistic beaming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_beaming

    In everyday life aberration is a well-known phenomenon. Consider a person standing in the rain on a day when there is no wind. If the person is standing still, then the rain drops will follow a path that is straight down to the ground. However, if the person is moving, for example in a car, the rain will appear to be approaching at an angle.

  5. Sector antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sector_antenna

    Typical GSM sector antenna outdoor unit. A sector antenna is a type of directional microwave antenna with a sector-shaped radiation pattern.The word "sector" is used in the geometric sense; some portion of the circumference of a circle measured in degrees of arc. 60°, 90° and 120° designs are typical, often with a few degrees 'extra' to ensure overlap and mounted in multiples when wider or ...

  6. Gaussian beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

    The shape of a Gaussian beam of a given wavelength λ is governed solely by one parameter, the beam waist w 0. This is a measure of the beam size at the point of its focus (z = 0 in the above equations) where the beam width w(z) (as defined above) is the smallest (and likewise where the intensity on-axis (r = 0) is the largest). From this ...

  7. Tilt (optics) - Wikipedia

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

    Tilt quantifies the average slope in both the X and Y directions of a wavefront or phase profile across the pupil of an optical system. In conjunction with piston (the first Zernike polynomial term), X and Y tilt can be modeled using the second and third Zernike polynomials: X-Tilt: ⁡ ()

  8. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    The deflection of beam elements is usually calculated on the basis of the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation while that of a plate or shell element is calculated using plate or shell theory. An example of the use of deflection in this context is in building construction. Architects and engineers select materials for various applications.

  9. Bending moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_moment

    Other beams can have both ends fixed (known as encastre beam); therefore each end support has both bending moments and shear reaction loads. Beams can also have one end fixed and one end simply supported. The simplest type of beam is the cantilever, which is fixed at one end and is free at the other end (neither simple nor fixed). In reality ...
