Why does this matter operationally?
Performance
The measurable behaviour of a connectivity system under real operating conditions, including throughput, latency, jitter, and packet loss. Performance determines whether applications and control systems receive data at the speed and consistency their operations require.

Local Oscillator
Local Oscillator is the signal source used within a radio or frequency conversion stage to provide the reference frequency for mixing and translation.
Hardware
Look Angle
Look Angle is the directional angle used to point an antenna, sensor, or observer toward a target from a reference location. It describes the aiming direction needed for alignment.
Operations
Low Noise Amplifier
Low Noise Amplifier is an amplifier designed to increase signal strength while adding as little noise as possible.
