Subtopics

  • Carrier wave [r]: In electromagnetic signal transmission, the basic information-free signal onto which information is modulated. [e]
  • Modulation [r]: The process of varying one waveform in relation to another waveform. [e]
    • Amplitude modulation [r]: Changing the height of the peaks of a periodic waveform, such as a radio wave, to carry information. [e]
    • Frequency modulation [r]: Technique for imposing information onto a electromagnetic signal of constant frequency -- the "carrier wave". [e]
  • Superheterodyne [r]: A form of reception in which the frequency of an incoming signal is mixed with a locally generated signal and converted to an intermediate frequency in order to facilitate amplification and the rejection of unwanted signals. [e]
  • Electromagnetic wave [r]: A change, periodic in space and time, of an electric field E(r,t) and a magnetic field B(r,t); a stream of electromagnetic waves, referred to as electromagnetic radiation, can be seen as a stream of massless elementary particles, named photons. [e]
  • Electromagnetism [r]: Phenomena and theories regarding electricity and magnetism. [e]
  • Ionizing radiation [r]: Subatomic particles or electromagnetic waves that are energetic enough to detach electrons from atoms or molecules, ionizing them. [e]

Other related topics

  • Acute radiation syndrome [r]: Disease or death caused by whole-body irradiation, over a short period of time, with a significant quantity of penetrating radiation [e]
