One of the key design parameters that must be considered in any RF system is VSWR, defined as the ratio of the maximum voltage to the minimum voltage on the standing wave:
Since the standing wave is nominally parallel to the surface of the substrate during deposition, this degree of certainty transfers nearly perfectly to the deposited structure, resulting in an inherently well-characterized pitch artifact.
In the end, those crazy kids at fashion week are the peaks or antinodes in a standing wave, while all of us normal-looking civilians are nodes in the same wave.
since the amplitude of the standing wave is double of the amplitude of the nonstanding wave [q.sub.0zs] = 2[q.sub.0z].

Both travelling wave and standing wave excitation methods have been developed for this type of motor [2-4].
Caption: Ultrasound driven surfer: a standing wave can be 0produced on the water's surface with a hologram, on which a paper boat surfs along in circles.
Although not at integrated circuit level, [26-27] demonstrated another standing wave distribution principle.
The motivation considering the gauge condition [A.sub.1] [equivalent to] 0 comes from a standing wave solution of (4)-(7).
Physically, these sinusoidal wells exist because of the interaction between the dielectric particle and the electromagnetic standing wave. The effective velocity is determined by finding the mean position of the sphere as a function of time.
The patent details Smith Audio's development of the cabinet's low frequency enclosure, and the method used for overcoming the destructive standing wave phenomena.
In the framework of potential flow theory, scientists first restricted their studies to the standing wave solution, which is bounded everywhere.
It is also seen that the power spectra at the large-scale erosion showed clearer node to anti-node behavior, which is in agreement with that predicted by standing wave theory, up to lower frequency of normal wind waves.
When the two waves meet, they combine to form a standing wave (a wave that remains in constant position).
For the fundamental frequency, the wavelength of this standing wave is twice the length of the tube.
