Adaptive Modulation
Adaptive Modulation is the dynamic selection of modulation formats based on link conditions to balance robustness and throughput. It changes the signal constellation or format when channel quality changes, enabling…
Software
Airborne Relay
Airborne Relay is a communications relay carried by an aircraft, drone, or other airborne platform to extend coverage or bridge a gap by forwarding communications over terrain, distance, or damaged…
Hardware
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 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 Jam Modulation
Anti Jam Modulation is a modulation approach selected to reduce the impact of interference or jamming on a communications link by using waveform structures that are resistant to disruption, facilitating…
Protocol
Anti Jam Modulation Scheme
Anti Jam Modulation Scheme is a modulation approach designed to improve communication resilience in the presence of interference or deliberate jamming through selection or adaptation of waveform structures that improve…
Concept/Framework
Array Calibration
Array calibration is the process of measuring and adjusting the relative behavior of elements in an antenna or sensor array so the system produces the intended response. It is used…
Concept/Framework
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.
Concept/Framework
Attitude Control
Attitude Control is the management of an object's orientation in space. It is used to maintain pointing, stability, or alignment in vehicles and platforms.
