  • Chapter 4, Current Status, Knowledge Gaps, and Research Needs Pertaining to Firefighter Radio Communication Systems
    NIOSH Firefighter Radio Communications CHAPTER IV: STRUCTURE COMMUNICATIONS ISSUES Buildings and other structures pose difficult problems for wireless (radio) communications. Whether communication is via hand-held radio or personal cellular phone, communications to, from, and within structures can degrade depending on a variety of factors. These factors include multipath effects, reflection from coated exterior glass, non-line-of-sight path loss, and signal absorption in the building construction materials, among others. The communications problems may be compounded by lack of a repeater to amplify and retransmit the signal or by poor placement of the repeater. RF propagation in structures can be so poor that there may be areas where the signal is virtually nonexistent, rendering radio communication impossible. Those who design and select firefighter communications systems cannot dictate what building materials or methods are used in structures, but they can conduct research and select the radio system designs and deployments that provide significantly improved radio communications in this extremely difficult environment.4 Communication Problems Inherent in Structures MULTIPATH Multipath fading and noise is a major cause of poor radio performance. Multipath is a phenomenon that results from the fact that a transmitted signal does not arrive at the receiver solely from a single straight line-of-sight path. Because there are obstacles in the path of a transmitted radio signal, the signal may be reflected multiple times and in multiple paths, and arrive at the receiver from various directions along various paths, with various signal strengths per path. In fact, a radio signal received by a firefighter within a building is rarely a signal that traveled directly by line of sight from the transmitter.

Therefore, early detection of an event of this type in good time is of the highest priority. The observatories that are capable of detecting Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) waves (<300 Hz) today represent a breakthrough in the early detection and study of such phenomena. In this work, all earthquakes with tsunami associated in history and all existing ELF wave observatories currently located worldwide are represented. It was also noticed how the southern hemisphere lacks coverage in this matter. In this work, the most suitable locations are proposed to cover these geographical areas. Also, ELF data processed obtained from the observatory of the University of Almeria in Calar Alto, Spain are shown.

The rest-frame near-IR spectra of intermediate age (1–2 Gyr) stellar populations aredominatedbycarbonbasedabsorption features offering a wealth of information. Yet, spectral libraries that include the near-IR wavelength range do not sample a sufficiently broad range of ages and metallicities to allowforaccuratecalibrationofstellar population models and thus the interpretation of the observations. Aims. In this paper we investigate the integrated J-andH-band spectra of six intermediate age and old globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Methods. The observations for six clusters were obtained with the SINFONI integral field spectrograph at the ESO VLT Yepun tele- scope, covering the J (1.09–1.41 µm) and H-band (1.43–1.86 µm) spectral range. The spectral resolution is 6.7 Å in J and 6.6 Å in H-band (FWHM). The observations were made in natural seeing, covering the central 24"" 24"" of each cluster and in addition sam- pling the brightest eight red giant branch and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star candidates× within the clusters’ tidal radii.

B.1 Unguided media Guided to unguided – Transmission • the signal is guided to an antenna via a guided medium • antenna radiates electromagnetic energy into the medium – Reception • antenna picks up electromagnetic waves from the surrounding medium. – Example • a voice signal from a telephone network is guided via a twisted pair to a base station of mobile telephone network • the antennas of the base station radiates electromagnetic energy into the air • the antenna of the mobile phone handset picks up electromagnetic waves B.2 Directional and Omnidirectional Directional – the transmitting antennaHow puts to out focus a focused an electromagnetic beam electromagnetic wave ? – the transmitting and receiving antennas must be aligned – Example • Satellite communication systems • For a satellite located at 35784km above the ground, a 1° beam covers 1962km2 B.3 Directional and Omnidirectional Omnidirectional – the transmitted signal spreads out in all directions and can be received by many antennas. – In general, the higher the frequency of a signal, the more it is possible to focus it into a directional beam – Example • mobile communication systems • radio broadcasting B.4 Operating freqeuncies Microwave – Frequencies in the range of about 30 MHz to 40 GHz are referred to as microwave frequencies – 2 GHz to 40 GHz • wavelength in air is 0.75cm to 15cm ¾wavelength = velocity / frequency • highly directional beams are possible • suitable for point-to-point transmission – 30 MHz to 1 GHz • suitable for omnidirectional applications B.5 Operating freqeuncies B.6 Terrestrial Microwave Physical description – limited to line-of-sight transmission.

  • Low Frequency Converter.Pdf
    Find out whatk happening below the A M-broadcast band with our low-frequency converter: WILLIAM SHEETS AND RUDOLF F. GRAF simply adding 1 MHz to all received signals. Connect our converter to any communications receiver, or AM-broad- cast radio for that matter, and bingo--you have a longwave receiver. Radio calibration is unnecessary because signals are received at the AM-radio's dial setting, plus 1 MHz. A 100-kHz signal is received at 1100 kHz, a 335-kHz signal at 1335 kHz, etc., just drop the first digit to read the longwave frequency. THE FREQUENCY RANGE JUST BELOW THE AM-BROAD- One problem at low frequencies is man-made noise; cast band (from 10 kHz to 550 kHz) has been clearly many of our everyday devices and appliances are notorious omitted from most communication receivers. How come? in that regard. Motors, fluorescent lighting, light dim- It appears that the extra coil sets, increased assembly mers, computes, TV-receiver sweep radiation, and many costs, and additional RF circuitry has not justified the small household digital devices generate "hash" in the inclusion of the low-frequency band. But that doesn't have spectrum below 550 kHz. Fortunately, most noise is car- to stop you from sneaking a peek at the band "down- ried chiefly on power lines, and doesn't radiate very far. under." Among the signals you'll find below 550 kHz are One misconception is that tremendous antennas are maritime mobile, distress, radio beacons, aircraft weather, needed for longwave reception. It's easy to understand European longwave-AM broadcast, and point-to-point why someone night think that way.

  • What Is Rf? It's Like Magic
    Originally appeared in the December 2011 issue of Communications Technology. WHAT IS RF? IT’S LIKE MAGIC By RON HRANAC The cable industry has, since the very first systems in the late 1940s, embraced and been based on radio frequency (RF) technology. These days, we’ve also embraced the digital world — and a subset of digital technology called Internet protocol (IP) — but RF still is needed in most cable networks to transport digital data to and from devices in our subscribers’ homes. The answer to the question in the title of this month’s column is far more complicated than it seems initially. A good place to start is with an explanation of “R” and “F.” What’s radio frequency? Here’s one high-level perspective: It’s that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum from a few kilohertz to about 300 gigahertz. The radio-frequency part of the electromagnetic spectrum is further broken down into two chunks: radio waves and microwaves. Some references define radio waves as those with a frequency starting at about 3 kHz (the beginning of the very low frequency [VLF] band) and extending to 300 MHz (the beginning of the ultra high frequency [UHF] band), with microwaves covering roughly 300 MHz to 300 GHz. The latter is the beginning of the far infrared (FIR) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other references have microwaves starting at frequencies higher than 300 MHz; indeed, many RF engineers consider the microwave spectrum to be higher than about 1 GHz. Radio frequency also can be defined as a rate of oscillation within the 3 kHz to 300 GHz range (more on this in a moment).

The H3K9 methylation reader M-Phase Phosphoprotein 8 (MPP8) is highly expressed in ESCs and germline cells. Although evidence of a cooperation between H3K9 KMTs and MPP8 in committed cells has emerged, the interplay between H3K9 methylation writers and MPP8 in ESCs remains elusive.
