  2. Interplanetary Internet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Internet

    The interplanetary Internet is a conceived computer network in space, consisting of a set of network nodes that can communicate with each other. [1][2] These nodes are the planet's orbiters and landers, and the Earth ground stations. For example, the orbiters collect the scientific data from the Curiosity rover on Mars through near-Mars ...

  3. Wave packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_packet

    Wave packet. A looped animation of a wave packet propagating without dispersion: the envelope is maintained even as the phase changes. In physics, a wave packet (also known as a wave train or wave group) is a short burst of localized wave action that travels as a unit, outlined by an envelope. A wave packet can be analyzed into, or can be ...

  4. Wave function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_function

    The wave function of an initially very localized free particle. In quantum physics, a wave function (or wavefunction) is a mathematical description of the quantum state of an isolated quantum system. The most common symbols for a wave function are the Greek letters ψ and Ψ (lower-case and capital psi, respectively).

  5. Spatial multiplexing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_multiplexing

    Medium access control. v. t. e. Spatial multiplexing. 2xSMX or STC+2xMRC. Spatial multiplexing or space-division multiplexing (SM, SDM or SMX) is a multiplexing technique in MIMO wireless communication, fiber-optic communication and other communications technologies used to transmit independent channels separated in space.

  6. Space-division multiple access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-division_multiple_access

    Space-division multiple access (SDMA) is a channel access method based on creating parallel spatial pipes (focused signal beams) using advanced antenna technology next to higher capacity pipes through spatial multiplexing and/or diversity, by which it is able to offer superior performance in radio multiple access communication systems (where multiple users may need to use the communication ...

  7. Antenna diversity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_diversity

    Antenna diversity, also known as space diversity or spatial diversity, is any one of several wireless diversity schemes that uses two or more antennas to improve the quality and reliability of a wireless link. Often, especially in urban and indoor environments, there is no clear line-of-sight (LOS) between transmitter and receiver.

  8. Envelope (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(waves)

    Envelope (waves) In physics and engineering, the envelope of an oscillating signal is a smooth curve outlining its extremes. [1] The envelope thus generalizes the concept of a constant amplitude into an instantaneous amplitude. The figure illustrates a modulated sine wave varying between an upper envelope and a lower envelope.

  9. Resilient Packet Ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resilient_Packet_Ring

    Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), as defined by IEEE standard 802.17, is a protocol designed for the transport of data traffic over optical fiber ring networks. The standard began development in November 2000 [ 1 ] and has undergone several amendments since its initial standard was completed in June 2004.
