Analog Signal Scaling
Analog Signal Scaling is the conversion of an analog input or output range into engineering units or another usable value range. It makes the signal easier to interpret.
Operations
Antenna
An antenna is a transducer that couples electrical signals to free space electromagnetic waves and vice versa. It determines how RF energy is radiated, received, and shaped in space.
Hardware
Antenna Blockage Superstructure
Antenna Blockage Superstructure is a vessel structure that obstructs an antenna's line of sight and reduces or interrupts radio performance through physical blockage or partial shadowing of the RF path.
Hardware
Antenna Gain
Antenna Gain is a measure of how effectively an antenna concentrates energy in a given direction compared with a reference antenna. It influences both transmit and receive performance.
Hardware
Antenna Placement
Antenna placement is the practice of selecting and configuring the physical position of an antenna to optimize radio performance, coverage, and reliability. It includes height, orientation, separation, and exposure to…
Concept/Framework
Antenna Reflector
Antenna Reflector is a shaped surface that directs electromagnetic energy toward or away from a feed element to form a desired radiation pattern.
Hardware
Anti Spoof Timing
Anti Spoof Timing is timing protection that detects or resists false timing signals intended to mislead a receiver or control system.
Concept/Framework
Application Aware Routing
Application Aware Routing is routing that uses application or service context to influence path selection and traffic handling. It routes traffic based on policy or service requirements rather than only…
Software
Asynchronous Transfer Mode
Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a cell-switched networking technology that carries traffic in fixed-size cells. It was designed for broadband transport and service differentiation.
Protocol
Atmospheric Absorption
Atmospheric Absorption is the loss of electromagnetic energy as radio waves pass through the atmosphere due to interaction with atmospheric gases, resulting in propagation loss that reduces received signal strength.
