  2. Electromagnetic shielding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_shielding

    A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a Faraday cage. The amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of holes in a shield to an incident electromagnetic field.

  3. Optical filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_filter

    Optical filtering was first done with liquid-filled, glass-walled cells; [citation needed] they are still used for special purposes. The widest range of color-selection is now available as colored-film filters, originally made from animal gelatin but now usually a thermoplastic such as acetate, acrylic, polycarbonate, or polyester depending upon the application.

  4. Filter (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_(signal_processing)

    Chebyshev filter, has the best approximation to the ideal response of any filter for a specified order and ripple. Butterworth filter, has a maximally flat frequency response. Bessel filter, has a maximally flat phase delay. Elliptic filter, has the steepest cutoff of any filter for a specified order and ripple.

  5. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

    The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are ...

  6. Radio jamming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_jamming

    They can block data delivery at a distance up to 15 meters without barriers. Stationary jammers are more expensive and powerful. They usually have a larger jamming radius and wider frequency band. Strong jammers can require additional cooling as they can overheat. Stationary jammers usually have a range of 100 meters and require a power supply ...

  7. Low-pass filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-pass_filter

    A first-order RL circuit is composed of one resistor and one inductor and is the simplest type of RL circuit. A first-order RL circuit is one of the simplest analogue infinite impulse response electronic filters. It consists of a resistor and an inductor, either in series driven by a voltage source or in parallel driven by a current source.

  8. Radio receiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_receiver

    The signal from the spark gap transmitter consisted of damped waves repeated at an audio frequency rate, from 120 to perhaps 4000 per second, so in the earphone the signal sounded like a musical tone or buzz, and the Morse code "dots" and "dashes" sounded like beeps. The first person to use radio waves for communication was Guglielmo Marconi.

  9. Wavelength shifter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength_shifter

    A wavelength shifter is a photofluorescent material that absorbs higher frequency photons and emits lower frequency photons. The material absorbs one photon, and emits one or multiple lower-energy photons. The relaxation time of the excited molecule is usually in the order of nanoseconds.
