  2. Avalanche transceiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche_transceiver

    An avalanche transceiver or avalanche beacon is a type of emergency locator beacon, a radio transceiver (a transmitter and receiver in one unit) operating at 457 kHz for the purpose of finding people buried under snow. They are widely carried by skiers, particularly back country skiers for use in case a skier is buried by an avalanche.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche_rescue

    Avalanche Transceivers — known as beacons, "beepers", peeps (pieps), ARVAs (Appareil de Recherche de Victimes en Avalanche, in French), LVS (Lawinen-Verschütteten-Suchgerät, Swiss German), or various other trade names, are important for every member of the party. They emit a "beep" via 457 kHz radio signal in normal use, but may be switched ...

    The R1155 was a British communications receiver, commonly used in aircraft along with its associated T1154 transmitter. It was used extensively by the Royal Air Force during World War II , mainly in larger aircraft such as the Avro Lancaster , Handley Page Halifax , Vickers Wellington and Short Sunderland .

  6. Transponder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transponder

    The term is a blend of transmitter and responder. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In air navigation or radio frequency identification , a flight transponder is an automated transceiver in an aircraft that emits a coded identifying signal in response to an interrogating received signal.

  7. Exposed node problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposed_node_problem

    In wireless networks, the exposed node problem occurs when a node is prevented from sending packets to other nodes because of co-channel interference with a neighboring transmitter. Consider an example of four nodes labeled R1, S1, S2, and R2, where the two receivers (R1, R2) are out of range of each other, yet the two transmitters (S1, S2) in ...

  8. NAVTEX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAVTEX

    A NAVTEX receiver prints an incoming message NAVTEX message for the Baltic Sea. NAVTEX (NAVigational TEleX), sometimes styled Navtex or NavTex, is an international automated medium frequency direct-printing service for delivery of navigational and meteorological warnings and forecasts, as well as urgent maritime safety information (MSI) to ships.

  9. Modulated continuous wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulated_continuous_wave

    MCW can be generated by any AM or FM radio transmitter with audio input from an audio oscillator or equivalent audio source. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] When an SSB transmitter is modulated by Morse code of only a single audio frequency, the resulting radio frequency emission is J2A or J2B and therefore is CW by definition, not MCW.
