Turned v (majuscule: Ʌ, minuscule: ʌ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, based on a turned form of the letter V. It is used in the orthographies of Dan , Ch’ol , Nankina , Northern Tepehuán , Temne , Oneida , and Wounaan and also some orthographies of Ibibio .
Spectrogram of ʌ. The open-mid back unrounded vowel or low-mid back unrounded vowel [1] is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages.The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ʌ , graphically a rotated lowercase "v" (called a turned V but created as a small-capital ᴀ without the crossbar, even though some vendors display it as a real turned v).
Inverted vee antenna. An inverted vee antenna is a type of antenna similar to a horizontal dipole, but with the two sides bent down towards the ground, typically creating a 120- or 90-degree angle between the dipole legs. It is typically used in areas of limited space as it can significantly reduce the ground foot print of the antenna without ...
Louis Varney (G5RV) invented this antenna in 1946. [4] It is very popular in the United States. [5] The antenna can be erected as horizontal dipole, as sloper, or an inverted-V antenna. With a transmatch, (antenna tuner) it can operate on all HF amateur radio bands (3.5–30 MHz). [5][6]
Inverted-'V' antenna When the two arms of a dipole are individually straight, but bent towards each other in a 'V' shape, at an angle visibly less than 180°, the dipole is called a 'V' antenna, and when the dipole's far ends are staked closer to the ground than the center, it is called an inverted-'V' antenna. The inverted-'V' is popular since ...
A chevron (also spelled cheveron, especially in older documents) is a V -shaped mark or symbol, often inverted. The word is usually used in reference to a kind of fret in architecture, or to a badge or insignia used in military or police uniforms to indicate rank or length of service, or in heraldry and the designs of flags (see flag terminology).
A V engine, sometimes called a Vee engine, is a common configuration for internal combustion engines. It consists of two cylinder banks —usually with the same number of cylinders in each bank—connected to a common crankshaft. These cylinder banks are arranged at an angle to each other, so that the banks form a "V" shape when viewed from the ...
Dipole antenna used by the radar altimeter in an airplane. Animated diagram of a half-wave dipole antenna receiving a radio wave. The antenna consists of two metal rods connected to a receiver R. The electric field (E, green arrows) of the incoming wave pushes the electrons in the rods back and forth, charging the ends alternately positive ...
