evanescent field

In a waveguide, a time-varying field having an amplitude that decreases monotonically as a function of transverse radial distance from the waveguide, but without an accompanying phase shift.
Note 1: The evanescent field is coupled, i.e., bound, to an electromagnetic wave or mode propagating inside the waveguide.
Note 2: The evanescent field is a surface wave.
Note 3: In fiber… (Read More →)

exalted-carrier reception

A method of receiving either amplitude- or phase-modulated signals in which method the carrier is separated from the sidebands, filtered and amplified, and then combined with the sidebands again at a higher level prior to demodulation. Synonym reconditioned carrier reception.
