  2. 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 ...

    Reitz received a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering in 1970 and an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering in 1972 from the University of Cape Town.He then completed an M.S. in mechanics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1973, followed by serving as a Research Assistant at Princeton University from 1974 to 1978, where he earned an M.A. in 1975 and a Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace ...

  4. Rayleigh distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the Rayleigh distribution is a continuous probability distribution for nonnegative-valued random variables. Up to rescaling, it coincides with the chi distribution with two degrees of freedom .

  5. Rayleigh–Ritz method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Ritz_method

    The Rayleigh–Ritz method is often used in mechanical engineering for finding the approximate real resonant frequencies of multi degree of freedom systems, such as spring mass systems or flywheels on a shaft with varying cross section. It is an extension of Rayleigh's method.

  6. Rayleigh's quotient in vibrations analysis - Wikipedia

    The example shows how the Rayleigh's quotient is capable of getting an accurate estimation of the lowest natural frequency. The practice of using the static displacement vector as a trial vector is valid as the static displacement vector tends to resemble the lowest vibration mode.

    There are a handful of things most of us do every day upon waking up: brush our teeth, scroll on our phones, enjoy a cup of coffee.For many, that cup of coffee is a non-negotiable, whether you ...

  9. Detection theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detection_theory

    Detection theory or signal detection theory is a means to measure the ability to differentiate between information-bearing patterns (called stimulus in living organisms, signal in machines) and random patterns that distract from the information (called noise, consisting of background stimuli and random activity of the detection machine and of the nervous system of the operator).
