At the top right corner is a monocular for assisting the alignment of the two heads. Free-space optical communication ( FSO) is an optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to wirelessly transmit data for telecommunications or computer networking. "Free space" means air, outer space, vacuum, or something similar.
Wireless telegraphy. A US Army Signal Corps radio operator in 1943 in New Guinea transmitting by radiotelegraphy. Wireless telegraphy or radiotelegraphy is transmission of text messages by radio waves, analogous to electrical telegraphy using cables. [ 1 ][ 2 ] Before about 1910, the term wireless telegraphy was also used for other experimental ...
Wireless power transfer ( WPT ), wireless power transmission, wireless energy transmission ( WET ), or electromagnetic power transfer is the transmission of electrical energy without wires as a physical link. In a wireless power transmission system, an electrically powered transmitter device generates a time-varying electromagnetic field that ...
Signal transmission. Antenna used for transmission of radio signals. In telecommunications, transmission is the process of sending or propagating an analog or digital signal via a medium that is wired, wireless, or fiber-optic. [ 1][ 2] Transmission system technologies typically refer to physical layer protocol duties such as modulation ...
Through-the-Earth (TTE) signalling is a type of radio signalling used in mines and caves that uses low-frequency waves to penetrate dirt and rock, which are opaque to higher-frequency conventional radio signals. In mining, these lower-frequency signals can be relayed underground through various antennas, repeater or mesh configurations, but ...
In radio communication, used in radio and television broadcasting, cell phones, two-way radios, wireless networking, and satellite communication, among numerous other uses, radio waves are used to carry information across space from a transmitter to a receiver, by modulating the radio signal (impressing an information signal on the radio wave ...
WSPR (pronounced "whisper") is an acronym for Weak Signal Propagation Reporter. It is a protocol, implemented in a computer program, used for weak- signal radio communication between amateur radio operators. The protocol was designed, and a program written initially, by Joe Taylor, K1JT. The software code is now open source and is developed by ...
Channel sounding. Channel sounding is a technique that evaluates a radio environment for wireless communication, especially MIMO systems. Because of the effect of terrain and obstacles, wireless signals propagate in multiple paths (the multipath effect). To minimize or use the multipath effect, engineers use channel sounding to process the ...
