Courant continu haute tensionthumb|upright=1.5|Convertisseurs à thyristors sur le pôle 2 de la ligne Inter-Island en Nouvelle-Zélande.thumb|upright=1.5|Symbole d'un convertisseur AC/DC. Le courant continu haute tension (CCHT), en anglais High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC), est une technologie d'électronique de puissance utilisée pour le transport de l'électricité en courant continu haute tension. Son utilisation est minoritaire par rapport au transport électrique à courant alternatif (AC) traditionnel de nos réseaux électriques.
Methane emissionsIncreasing methane emissions are a major contributor to the rising concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere, and are responsible for up to one-third of near-term global heating. During 2019, about 60% (360 million tons) of methane released globally was from human activities, while natural sources contributed about 40% (230 million tons). Reducing methane emissions by capturing and utilizing the gas can produce simultaneous environmental and economic benefits.
Radio spectrumThe radio spectrum is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum with frequencies from 3 Hz to 3,000 GHz (3 THz). Electromagnetic waves in this frequency range, called radio waves, are widely used in modern technology, particularly in telecommunication. To prevent interference between different users, the generation and transmission of radio waves is strictly regulated by national laws, coordinated by an international body, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Transmission de donnéesLa transmission de données désigne le transport de données, quel que soit le type d'information, d'un endroit vers un autre, par un moyen physique ou numérique. Historiquement, La transmission se faisait par signaux visuels (tel que la fumée ou les sémaphores), sonores (comme le langage sifflé des Canaries), courrier papier avant d'utiliser des signaux numériques comme le code Morse sur des fils en cuivre.
Signal transmissionIn telecommunications, transmission is the process of sending or propagating an analog or digital signal via a medium that is wired, wireless, or fiber-optic. Transmission system technologies typically refer to physical layer protocol duties such as modulation, demodulation, line coding, equalization, error control, bit synchronization and multiplexing, but it may also involve higher-layer protocol duties, for example, digitizing an analog signal, and data compression.
Compatibilité électromagnétiqueLa compatibilité électromagnétique ou CEM (en anglais, electromagnetic compatibility ou EMC) est l'aptitude d'un appareil ou d'un système électrique ou électronique, à fonctionner correctement dans l'environnement électromagnétique pour lequel l'appareil est conçu, sans produire lui-même des perturbations électromagnétiques que ne peuvent supporter les autres appareils de son environnement.
Impulsion électromagnétiquevignette|redresse=1.2|Simulateur d'EMP HAGII-C testé sur un avion Boeing E-4 (1979). Une impulsion électromagnétique (IEM), également connue sous le nom EMP (de l'anglais electromagnetic pulse) est une émission d'ondes électromagnétiques brève et de très forte amplitude qui peut détruire de nombreux appareils électriques et électroniques (reliés au courant et non protégés) et brouiller les télécommunications.
Analog transmissionAnalog transmission is a transmission method of conveying information using a continuous signal which varies in amplitude, phase, or some other property in proportion to that information. It could be the transfer of an analog signal, using an analog modulation method such as frequency modulation (FM) or amplitude modulation (AM), or no modulation at all. Some textbooks also consider passband data transmission using a digital modulation method such as ASK, PSK and QAM, i.e.
Intermediate frequencyIn communications and electronic engineering, an intermediate frequency (IF) is a frequency to which a carrier wave is shifted as an intermediate step in transmission or reception. The intermediate frequency is created by mixing the carrier signal with a local oscillator signal in a process called heterodyning, resulting in a signal at the difference or beat frequency. Intermediate frequencies are used in superheterodyne radio receivers, in which an incoming signal is shifted to an IF for amplification before final detection is done.
Near and far fieldThe near field and far field are regions of the electromagnetic (EM) field around an object, such as a transmitting antenna, or the result of radiation scattering off an object. Non-radiative near-field behaviors dominate close to the antenna or scattering object, while electromagnetic radiation far-field behaviors dominate at greater distances. Far-field E (electric) and B (magnetic) field strength decreases as the distance from the source increases, resulting in an inverse-square law for the radiated power intensity of electromagnetic radiation.
