Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna

The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment has been designed to study ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic neutrinos by detecting the radio pulses emitted by their interactions with the Antarctic ice sheet. This is to be accomplished using an array of radio antennas suspended from a helium balloon flying at a height of about 37,000 meters. The neutrinos, with energies on the order of 1018 eV, produce radio pulses in the ice because of the Askaryan effect. It is thought that these high-energy cosmic neutrinos result from interaction of ultra-high-energy (1020 eV) cosmic rays with the photons of the cosmic microwave background radiation. It is thus hoped that the ANITA experiment can help to explain the origin of these cosmic rays. (Wikipedia).

Electric Dipole Propagation Pattern [Dipole Antenna] 📡

Here, 3D propagation pattern of an electric dipole (antenna) is being shown. In addition to the radiation pattern, we also project the transversal and vertical planes of the propagation pattern and actually show how the waves would be propagating in different planes. Basically, along the

Doppler Effect Animation

We demonstrate the Doppler Effect where a traveling transmitter excites spherical waves in fixed time intervals. While a frequency increase in the direction of travel is observed, a reduction of frequency occurs in the opposite direction.
