inductance
the property of an electric circuit by virtue of which a varying current induces an electromotive
force in that circuit or in a neighboring circuit. The unit is a Henry.
multiple echoes
secondary echoes that appear as double, triple, or quadruple echoes in the distance from the
target echo.
Near Blanking
see Blanking.
nozzle
a length of pipe mounted onto a vessel that supports the flange.
parameters
in programming, variables that are given constant values for specific purposes or processes.
polarization
the property of a radiated electromagnetic wave describing the time-varying direction and
amplitude of the electric field vector.
propagation factor (pf)
where the maximum velocity is 1.0, pf is a value that represents a reduction in propagation
velocity as a result of the wave travelling through a pipe or medium.
pulse radar
a radar type that directly measures distance using short microwave pulses. Distance is
determined by the return transit time.
radar
radar is an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging. A device that radiates electromagnetic
waves and utilizes the reflection of such waves from distant objects to determine their existence
or position.
