-Signals
Signal - the abstract model of any measurable size changing in the time, generated by physical
phenomena or systems.
Impulse function - a mathematical function of an infinitely high amplitude and infinitesimal
duration.
Period - execution time of one full oscillation, or time between appearances of the same phase of
the oscillating motion.
Frequency - physical quantity indicating the number of cycles of a periodic phenomenon occurring
per unit of time.
Converter - device processing one signal on other.
-Drones
DATA LINK- is the means of connecting one location to another for the purpose of transmitting and
receiving digital information.
RADAR ( Radio Detection And Ranging) is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to

Contact Patch - outer area of the wheel, which is in touch with asphalt
-Telescopes
Lens- a curved piece of glass used in glasses, telescopes etc.
Refraction-deflection from a straight path
Focal length-the distance of a focus from the surface of a lens or curved mirror
Light pollution -light from cities, vehicles, etc., that makes it difficult to see things in the sky
Distortion- a lack of proportionality in an image resulting from defects in the optical system
