  2. Rayleigh distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution

    The distribution is named after Lord Rayleigh (/ ˈ r eɪ l i /). [1] A Rayleigh distribution is often observed when the overall magnitude of a vector in the plane is related to its directional components. One example where the Rayleigh distribution naturally arises is when wind velocity is analyzed in two dimensions.

  3. Rayleigh fading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_fading

    Rayleigh fading is a statistical model for the effect of a propagation environment on a radio signal, such as that used by wireless devices.. Rayleigh fading models assume that the magnitude of a signal that has passed through such a transmission medium (also called a communication channel) will vary randomly, or fade, according to a Rayleigh distribution — the radial component of the sum of ...

  4. Rayleigh–Jeans law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Jeans_law

    Comparison of Rayleigh–Jeans law with Wien approximation and Planck's law, for a body of 5800 K temperature.. In physics, the Rayleigh–Jeans law is an approximation to the spectral radiance of electromagnetic radiation as a function of wavelength from a black body at a given temperature through classical arguments.

  5. Rayleigh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh

    Rayleigh (unit), a unit of photon flux named after the 4th Baron Rayleigh; Rayl, rayl or Rayleigh, two units of specific acoustic impedance and characteristic acoustic impedance, named after the 3rd Baron Rayleigh; Rayleigh criterion in angular resolution; Rayleigh distribution; Rayleigh fading; Rayleigh law on low-field magnetization; Rayleigh ...

  6. Multipath propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipath_propagation

    Where the magnitudes of the signals arriving by the various paths have a distribution known as the Rayleigh distribution, this is known as Rayleigh fading. Where one component (often, but not necessarily, a line of sight component) dominates, a Rician distribution provides a more accurate model, and this is known as Rician fading.

  7. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    Rayleigh distribution, for the distribution of vector magnitudes with Gaussian distributed orthogonal components. Rayleigh distributions are found in RF signals with Gaussian real and imaginary components. Rice distribution, a generalization of the Rayleigh distributions for where there is a stationary background signal component.

  8. Rayleigh scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_scattering

    Rayleigh scattering causes the blue color of the daytime sky and the reddening of the Sun at sunset. Rayleigh scattering (/ ˈ r eɪ l i / RAY-lee) is the scattering or deflection of light, or other electromagnetic radiation, by particles with a size much smaller than the wavelength of the radiation.

  9. Rayleigh law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_law

    The Rayleigh law describes the behavior of ferromagnetic materials at low fields. Ferromagnetic materials consist of magnetic domains . When a small external field H {\displaystyle H} is applied, domains parallel to the external field start to grow.
