To minimize the impact of this copper wire passband shaping, a compromise equalizer, with more attenuation at the lower frequencies, than at the higher frequencies can be placed in series with the analog signal. The modem includes three such equalizers designed to compensate for cable distortion...

What is neutron radiography? Neutron transmission radiography(NR) is based on the application of the universal law of attenuation of radiation passing through matter. Because different materials have different attenuation behaviour the neutron beam passing through a sample can be interpreted as a signal carrying information about the composition and structure of the sample. The basic experimental set-up is given by the following arrangement : source-collimator-object-collector. 3, record 6, English, - neutron%20radiography
