    The insertion loss is not such a problem for an unequal split of power: for instance -40 dB at port 3 has an insertion loss less than 0.2 dB at port 2. Isolation can be improved at the expense of insertion loss at both output ports by replacing the output resistors with T pads. The isolation improvement is greater than the insertion loss added.

  3. Antenna (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_(radio)

    The loss resistance and efficiency of an antenna can be calculated once the field strength is known, by comparing it to the power supplied to the antenna. The loss resistance will generally affect the feedpoint impedance, adding to its resistive component.

  4. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio

    In the above formula, P is measured in units of power, such as watts (W) or milliwatts (mW), and the signal-to-noise ratio is a pure number. However, when the signal and noise are measured in volts (V) or amperes (A), which are measures of amplitude, [note 1] they must first be squared to obtain a quantity proportional to power, as shown below:

  5. Inverse-square law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law

    As for the power by which the Sun seizes or holds the planets, and which, being corporeal, functions in the manner of hands, it is emitted in straight lines throughout the whole extent of the world, and like the species of the Sun, it turns with the body of the Sun; now, seeing that it is corporeal, it becomes weaker and attenuated at a greater ...

  6. Duty cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_cycle

    A duty cycle or power cycle is the fraction of one period in which a signal or system is active. [1] [2] [3] Duty cycle is commonly expressed as a percentage or a ratio. A period is the time it takes for a signal to complete an on-and-off cycle. As a formula, a duty cycle (%) may be expressed as: = % [2]

  7. Dipole antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna

    German physicist Heinrich Hertz first demonstrated the existence of radio waves in 1887 using what we now know as a dipole antenna (with capacitative end-loading). On the other hand, Guglielmo Marconi empirically found that he could just ground the transmitter (or one side of a transmission line, if used) dispensing with one half of the antenna, thus realizing the vertical or monopole antenna.

    It is a common misunderstanding [2] that the energy not delivered by the battery due to Peukert's law is "lost" (as heat for example). In fact, once the load is removed, the battery voltage will recover, [3] and more energy can again be drawn out of the battery.

  9. Betz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz's_law

    The power coefficient [9] C P (= P/P wind) is the dimensionless ratio of the extractable power P to the kinetic power P wind available in the undistributed stream. [ citation needed ] It has a maximum value C P max = 16/27 = 0.593 (or 59.3%; however, coefficients of performance are usually expressed as a decimal, not a percentage).
