The conventional range gate stealer is a pulse-repeating countermeasure which is designed to deceive the range track servo of a remote or enemy tracking radar. This device receives the radar pulse, amplifies it, and retransmits it at the same frequency at higher power. 4, record 1, English, - range%20gate%20stealer

A reflection grating spectrometer works in a very similar way an optical prism does by spreading the incoming light as a function of its different wavelength components. In fact, in the case of XMM, the reflection gratings are nothing more than mirrors with tiny grooves on them. ... XMM is the first X-ray mission to fly a reflection grating and will identify lines of elements (like iron, oxygen, silicon, magnesium) common in astrophysical plasmas. 3, record 2, English, - reflection%20grating%20spectrometer

Les données transmises par le spectromètre à grille de réflexion (RGS) permettront de mesurer les caractéristiques des gaz émettant des rayons X mous dans les étoiles chaudes ou provenant des mini-quasars. Ces résultats sont essentiels pour déterminer la relation entre flambées d'étoiles et mini-quasars. 2, record 2, French, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20grille%20de%20r%C3%A9flexion
