  2. Hexbeam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexbeam

    A hexbeam, or hexagonal-beam, is a type of a directional antenna for shortwave, most often used in amateur radio. The name comes from the hexagonal outer shape of the antenna. It may also sometimes be known as a W-antenna, referring to the shape of the driver. The design looks something like an upturned umbrella.

  3. Gain (antenna) - Wikipedia

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

    In electromagnetics, an antenna's gain is a key performance parameter which combines the antenna's directivity and radiation efficiency. The term power gain has been deprecated by IEEE. [1] In a transmitting antenna, the gain describes how well the antenna converts input power into radio waves headed in a specified direction. In a receiving ...

  4. Semiconductor optical gain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_optical_gain

    Optical gain is the most important requirement for the realization of a semiconductor laser because it describes the optical amplification in the semiconductor material. This optical gain is due to stimulated emission associated with light emission created by recombination of electrons and holes.

  5. Aperture (antenna) - Wikipedia

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

    The longer the effective length, the greater is the voltage appearing at its terminals. However, the actual power implied by that voltage depends on the antenna's feedpoint impedance, so this cannot be directly related to antenna gain, which is a measure of received power (but does not directly specify voltage or current). For instance, a half ...

  6. Optical parametric amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_parametric_amplifier

    The OPA will make the pump beam (ω p) weaker, and amplify the signal beam (ω s), and also create a new, so-called idler beam at the frequency ω i with ω p =ω s +ω i. In the OPA, the pump and idler photons usually travel collinearly through a nonlinear optical crystal. Phase matching is required for the process to work well.

  7. Horn antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_antenna

    The gain G of a pyramidal horn antenna (the ratio of the radiated power intensity along its beam axis to the intensity of an isotropic antenna with the same input power) is: [19] G = 4 π A λ 2 e A {\displaystyle G={\frac {4\pi A}{\lambda ^{2}}}e_{A}}

  8. 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 ...

  9. Transmitarray antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmitarray_antenna

    A transmitarray antenna (or just transmitarray or called as layered lens antenna [2]) is a phase-shifting surface (PSS), a structure capable of focusing electromagnetic radiation from a source antenna to produce a high-gain beam. [3] Transmitarrays consist of an array of unit cells placed above a source (feeding) antenna. [4]
