Maximum transmission efficiency occurs when the load impedance matches the generator impedance. Engineers do this to eliminate standing waves, which can severely damage equipment. Transmission lines ...

That strange sound? It’s Earth’s magnetosphere—the magnetic field created by the movement of the iron core deep within the planet. The magnetosphere is a shield, protecting us from dangerous cosmic ...

Types of Waves: In Physics, waves are a fundamental phenomena that describes the transmission of energy and information through a medium of an empty space. These waves are characterised by their ...

A 50-Ω transmission line is terminated in a load with ZL = (100+j50) Ω. Find the voltage reflection coefficient, Γ and the voltage standing-wave ratio (SWR), S.

We are big fans of POV displays, particularly ones that move into 3D. To do so, they need to move even faster than their 2D cousins. [danfoisy] built a volumetric display that doesn’t move LEDs or any ...

When it comes to river surfing in Colorado, not all waves are created equal. A discussion about standing waves at the Vail Town Council’s August 20 meeting has had the unintended consequence of ...
