IMAGE FREQUENCY SIGNAL [5 records]

Record 1 2023-07-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications
  • Radioelectricity
DEF

Ratio, at the input of a radio receiver, of the power of a signal of a specified nature at the image frequency, to the power of a signal of the same nature at the tuned frequency, the two signals producing equal output powers.

OBS

image rejection ratio: designation and definition standardized by ISO in collaboration with the International Electrotechnical Commission.

French

Rapport, à l'entrée d'un récepteur radioélectrique, de la puissance d'un signal de nature spécifiée à la fréquence conjuguée, à la puissance d'un signal de même nature à la fréquence d'accord, les deux signaux produisant la même puissance de sortie.

OBS

affaiblissement sur la fréquence conjuguée; rapport de réjection sur la fréquence conjuguée : désignations et définition normalisées par l'ISO en collaboration avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale.

Record 2 2010-12-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

New methods of acoustic imaging are presented that provide images with reduced reverberation noise and images of nonlinear scattering and propagation parameters of the object, and estimation methods of corrections for wave front aberrations produced by spatial variations in the acoustic propagation velocity. The methods find use in a variety of applications such as acoustic imaging of geological structures, SONAR imaging of sub-sea objects, and medical ultrasound imaging. The methods are based on processing of the received signal from transmitted dual frequency band acoustic pulse complexes with overlapping high and low frequency pulses. The high frequency pulse is used for the image reconstruction and the low frequency pulse is used to manipulate the nonlinear scattering and/or propagation properties of the high frequency pulse.

OBS

acoustic imaging: term used at Natural Resources Canada - Earth Sciences Sector.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
CONT

[...] un procédé d'imagerie acoustique qui intercepte les ondes sonores propagées par des bruits à la surface d'un objet et mémorise la signature de chaque son dans une banque informatique de signaux.

OBS

imagerie acoustique : terme en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.

PHR

Imagerie acoustique haute résolution.

Record 3 2006-01-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A exraneous signal, noise or any other element that disturbs proper reception of the desired signal.

CONT

The signal data in the Kobe image was corrupted by a ground-based radar operating in the same frequency band as the JERS-1 sensor. This radar interference caused the streaks of noise that cover the image of the land mass. Other problems that arose in some of the data were the appearance of "ghost images" in the scenes and poor matching between the images.

OBS

radar interference : term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Télédétection
DEF

Signal, bruit ou tout autre élément semblable qui vient perturber la réception du signal attendu.

OBS

interférence radar : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).

Record 4 2002-11-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Range Measurements (Telecommunications)
  • Radio Waves
CONT

Theoretical studies have shown the potential scientific value of multi-spacecraft radio tomographic imaging of the magnetosphere. The <10 RE WIND perigee passes during August 2000 afforded a unique opportunity to test and verify the capabilities of radio tomography by measuring interspacecraft electromagnetic wave propagation parameters using the Radio Plasma Imager(RPI) on IMAGE as the transmitter and the WAVES instrument on WIND as the receiver.... We show how changes in the path-integrated electron density/magnetic field product can be unambiguously measured from this continuous, low signal to noise ratio, single frequency measurement.
