FREQUENCY SPACING [7 records]

Record 1 2007-01-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Audio Technology
DEF

A standardized frequency response curve(or contour) for recording of phonograph records, notably with attenuation of bass frequencies during recording to reduce the excursion of the cutting stylus, permit closer spacing of record grooves, and increase possible recording time, together with a compensating contour with bass boost for use at playback time.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électroacoustique
CONT

Normes R.I.A.A. : normes internationales qui précisent la courbe de gravure des disques. On ne grave jamais un disque de manière linéaire : on favorise ou on défavorise certaines fréquences par rapport à d'autres.

CONT

British made Search And Rescue And Homing(SARAH) beacon SRI 23006 was a UHF rescue beacon comprising speech unit, transmitter/receiver unit, coding unit and combined LT/HT battery. The first three units are permanently interconnected. Attached to the transmitter/receiver unit is a leaf spring aerial which fold up to very small dimensions. The SARAH beacon has three modes of operation. In the normal beacon condition pulses on a frequency of 243 MHz are being automatically transmitted. The pulses are transmitted in a rate of 210 pairs per second, the spacing between the pulses in each pair is determined by the coding unit and is a distinguishing feature between the beacons.(Note that the normal beacon operation has much in common with the war-time developed "Walter" beacon). The peak power in this mode is 15 watts and the battery life is about 20 hours continuous operation.

Subject field(s)

  • Bearings and Bearing Systems (Mechanical Components)
CONT

When the cepstral analysis is performed ... the ball-cage vibrations and changes in vibrations that are symptomatic of wear can be detected earlier in a test than they can be by more conventional methods based on straingauge measurements. ... Cepstral analysis is particularly useful in diagnoses of gearboxes and rolling element bearings ....

OBS

A cepstrum is a spectrum of a logarithmic power spectrum. Because of this, a peak in the cepstrum indicates periodicity in the spectrum; usually, this signifies a family of harmonics at equal frequency intervals.

OBS

Cepstral analysis has been widely applied to gear monitoring. The cepstrum is well suited for the detection of sidebands in vibration spectra and for the estimation of their evolution during gear life. In addition, since the cepstrum estimates the average sideband spacing over a wide frequency range, it allows very accurate measurement of the sideband periodicity. It is therefore applicable to both detection and diagnosis of gear faults.

Record 5 1998-06-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
DEF

The difference in frequency between successive radio or television channels.

OBS

In present methods of channel assignment, the channel spacing is equal to the "necessary bandwidth : plus an allowance for frequency instability, assuming identical transmissions.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Émission et réception radio
CONT

Dans les régions où l'on utilise généralement l'espacement de 100 kHz ou 200 kHz entre les voies, la tolérance de fréquence de la porteuse sera de (plus ou moins) 0,005 pour cent.

CONT

Les effets du brouillage dans une voie adjacente sont limités par l'écartement des voies (c'est-à-dire des fréquences) et par la bande passante des récepteurs.
