MICROWAVE COMMUNICATION [7 records]

Record 1 2015-04-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Satellite Telecommunications
DEF

The use of geostationary orbiting satellites to relay transmissions from one earth station to one or more other earth stations.

OBS

Basically, satellite communication is one long microwave link; transmission is comparable to that of existing microwave systems but with the added advantage of providing virtually all forms of telecommunications to areas which had not previously been well serviced.

Key term(s)
  • satellite communications

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télécommunications par satellite
Key term(s)
  • communications par satellite

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Telecomunicaciones por satélite
DEF

Utilización de satélites de órbita geoestacionaria para transferir emisiones desde una estación terrena hasta otra u otras estaciones terrenas.

Key term(s)
  • telecomunicaciones por satélite
  • comunicaciones vía satélite

Record 2 2014-11-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications
  • Optical Telecommunications
CONT

Research aimed at bringing the first short-haul, high-capacity optical communication systems into being... side by side with efforts to develop and expand more conventional alternatives such as digital microwave.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télécommunications
  • Télécommunications optiques
OBS

[...] conçoit que la recherche orientée vers la réalisation des premiers systèmes optiques à courte distance et à grande capacité se poursuive [...] parallèlement aux efforts pour mettre en œuvre des solutions plus classiques, dont les liaisons à hyperfréquence par éléments numériques.

Record 3 2011-08-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications Transmission
DEF

The length of time taken for a signal to travel from one point to another in a communication system. Absolute delay is dependent on the length, frequency, and the medium of transmission(cable, microwave, etc.).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transmission (Télécommunications)
DEF

Retard enregistré par un signal entre le moment de son lancement et celui de son arrivée à destination.

Record 4 2003-07-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Microwave Technology (Telecommunications)
  • Satellite Telecommunications
CONT

Power amplifier linearization is employed in a variety of microwave communication systems. It is an effective method that results in significantly higher output power operation for the power amplifier. Without Linearization, system constraints, such as intermodulation noise, spectrum spreading and BER performance, make it necessary to operate the power amplifier in a backed off mode.

Record 5 2002-11-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Spacecraft
  • Energy (Physics)
  • Solar Energy
CONT

The microwave beam from the satellite solar power station(SSPS) is triggered by a pilot signal beamed from the center of the receiving antenna to provide the necessary phase control to produce a coherent beam. Otherwise, if the beam were to drift, its coherence would be lost, the energy dissipated, and the resulting power density would approximate normal communication signal levels on Earth.

Record 6 2001-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radio Transmission and Reception
  • Telecommunications Transmission
DEF

A transmission type, or associated equipment, that uses no physical communications medium other than (usually line-of-sight) air.

OBS

Used for most radio-frequency communication techniques, including microwave, short wave and FM radio, and infrared.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Émission et réception radio
  • Transmission (Télécommunications)

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Radiotransmisión y radiorrecepción
  • Transmisión (Telecomunicaciones)
DEF

Modo de transmisión o equipo asociado que no usa ningún medio físico de comunicaciones salvo el aire (generalmente con visibilidad directa).

OBS

Se usa en muchas de las técnicas de comunicación por radiofrecuencia, incluyendo las microondas, la onda corta y la radio FM, y los rayos infrarrojos.

Record 7 1992-02-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Amplifiers (Electronics)
DEF

A traveling-wave tube and its associated high-voltage power conditioner. Used as the final power amplifier and sometimes the preceding driver amplifier, in earth station, microwave relay or communication satellite transmitters.(LAURISTON, Andy, et LE NEAL Jocelyne. Dictionnaire bilingue des télécommunications, vol. 2, Équipements de transmission, Transmission Equipment, Montréal, Téléglobe Canada, 1985, p. 183)

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
  • Amplificateurs (Électronique)
DEF

Tube à onde progressive et son alimentation à très haute tension. Utilisé comme amplificateur de puissance et parfois comme préamplificateur pilote dans l'étage de sortie d'un émetteur de satellite de télécommunications, de station terrienne ou de relais hertzien. (LAURISTON, Andy, et LE NEAL Jocelyne. Dictionnaire bilingue des télécommunications, vol. 2, Équipements de transmission, Transmission Equipment, Montréal, Téléglobe Canada, 1985, p. 183)
