  2. Cyclostationary process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclostationary_process

    The cyclostationary family accepts all signals with hidden periodicities, either of the additive type (presence of tonal components) or multiplicative type (presence of periodic modulations). This happens to be the case for noise and vibration produced by gear mechanisms, bearings, internal combustion engines, turbofans, pumps, propellers, etc.

  3. Double-sideband suppressed-carrier transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-sideband_suppressed...

    DSB-SC is basically an amplitude modulation wave without the carrier, therefore reducing power waste, giving it a 50% efficiency. This is an increase compared to normal AM transmission (DSB) that has a maximum efficiency of 33.333%, since 2/3 of the power is in the carrier which conveys no useful information and both sidebands containing identical copies of the same information.

  4. Carrier wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_wave

    In telecommunications, a carrier wave, carrier signal, or just carrier, is a periodic waveform (usually sinusoidal) that conveys information through a process called modulation. One or more of the wave's properties, such as amplitude or frequency, are modified by an information bearing signal, called the message signal or modulation signal .

  5. Carrier-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-to-noise_ratio

    In telecommunications, the carrier-to-noise ratio, often written CNR or C/N, is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of a modulated signal. The term is used to distinguish the CNR of the radio frequency passband signal from the SNR of an analog base band message signal after demodulation .

  6. Noise barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_barrier

    The sound tube in Melbourne, Australia, designed to reduce roadway noise without detracting from the area's aesthetics. A noise barrier (also called a soundwall, noise wall, sound berm, sound barrier, or acoustical barrier) is an exterior structure designed to protect inhabitants of sensitive land use areas from noise pollution.

  7. Phase noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_noise

    In this picture there is a phase noise of the main carrier, 3 other signals and "noise hill". A weak signal disappears in the phase noise of the stronger signal In signal processing , phase noise is the frequency-domain representation of random fluctuations in the phase of a waveform , corresponding to time-domain deviations from perfect ...

  8. Modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulation

    Categorization for signal modulation based on data and carrier types. In electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a separate signal called the modulation signal that typically contains information to be transmitted. [1]

  9. Transponder (satellite communications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transponder_(satellite...

    an input low-noise amplifier (LNA), designed to amplify the signals received from the Earth station (normally very weak, because of the large distances involved), a frequency translator (normally composed of an oscillator and a frequency mixer ) used to convert the frequency of the received signal to the frequency required for the transmitted ...
