Record 2 2002-08-14

English

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

An antenna which gives a narrow vertical fan-shaped beam such that the power flux density radiated(and received) in any direction, within a certain angular range, is proportional to the square of the cosecant of the angle above or below the horizontal plane through the origin of the beam.

OBS

Commonly used in airborne reconnaissance radar because it gives approximately uniform signal intensity for echoes received from near and distant targets on the Earth’s surface and within the azimuthal coverage of the beam.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Émission et réception radio
  • Installations de télécommunications

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Radiotransmisión y radiorrecepción
  • Instalaciones de telecomunicaciones
DEF

Antena que proporciona un haz estrecho vertical en forma de abanico en el que la intensidad de campo radiada (y recibida) en cualquier dirección dentro de una cierta gama angular es proporcional al cuadrado de la cosecante del ángulo superior o inferior al plano horizontal a través del origen del haz.

OBS

Utilizada comunmente en radar aerotransportado de reconocimiento porque proporciona intensidad de señal casi uniforme para los ecos recibidos desde objetivos cercanos y lejanos en la superficie terrestre dentro de la cobertura en acimut del haz.

Record 3 1992-11-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Physics
  • Atomic Physics
DEF

An approximate method for solving the transport equation, related to the spherical harmonics method and based on two expansions of the angular dependence of the differential particle flux density, one in the forward direction and one in the backward direction. This method is used mainly when there is a marked change of neutron characteristics across a boundary.

OBS

"Double spherical harmonics method" and "Yvon’s method" have been standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique
  • Physique atomique
DEF

Méthode approchée de résolution de l'équation du transport, analogue à la méthode des harmoniques sphériques et fondée sur deux développements du débit de fluence différentiel en fonction de l'angle, dans deux directions opposées. Cette méthode est surtout utilisée lorsque les caractéristiques neutroniques présentent un changement marqué au passage d'une frontière.

OBS

"Méthode des doubles harmoniques sphériques" et "méthode d'Yvon" ont été normalisés par l'ISO.
