Homework Statement Question: If a broadcast of a sporting event went up to a geostationary satellite, then traveled 50 000 km to another geostationary satellite, then came back to earth, what would be the delay in the signal? All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, and most of...

Why the Shapiro time delay is calculated with respect to the difference in coordinates and not with respect to the physical distance? I follow the discussion of Clifford (Theory and Experiment in Gravitational Physics) which uses isotropic coordinates and PPN approximation. To make more clear my...

I recently attended a seminar, which said impedance increases with temperature, which results in timing delays in digital circuits. I don't understand how increase in impedance results in delay.

Homework Statement A radio telescope, whose two antennas are separated by 55 m, is designed to receive 3.0-MHz radio waves produced by astronomical objects. The received radio waves create 3.0-MHz electronic signals in the telescope's left and right antennas. These signals then travel by...

Hello, can someone please tell me how to draw this time chart? I got this from a friend and I don't understand how he got it. A, B, C emit hazard at output Y. Here are the circuit diagram and the time delay my friend drew.

Hello, I am trying to develop a software control algorithm to compensate for oscillator imperfections/frequency drift. I have a NTP server which I can get a pretty good estimation (@1Hz) of the "true" time and compare it to my system's time. I can differentiate the offset-error to calculate...

Hello All, I'm building a HMM for some data where there are two different time delays. Specifically, I collect data in consecutive traces, such that the time delay between each data point within a trace is approximately fixed, and the time delay between each trace is approximately fixed, but...

The GPS satellite has an atomic clock which sychronizes with the receiver. But when the receiver gets the time, it is delayed as it travelled. So when its 08h 00min 05s in the satellite, the receiver gets maybe 08h 00min 03s. The time of travel of the signal is 2s but how will the receiver...

Imagine two parallel conducting plates set at a distance of several meters. If one charges the two plates simultaneously then one would expect a small delay before they started repelling each other due to the time it takes changes in the static field to propagate from one plate to the other...

Can someone clear up what is observed in Shapiro time delay experiments. As I understand it a delay is seen in the round trip signal time of a radar signal sent to a distant planet on the opposite side of the sun due to gravitational effects. The signal path would be longer than the straight...

I need to write a program that will create a constant time delay in x86 assembly, can anybody help?

Hey, I'm busy doing a project where we have to make the blackjack game. Now my problem is the time delay when they are dealing out the cards. As when we run the game, and click deal we see that both house and player have the cards already. Tried creatin my own delay with for loop, or using...

Hello. I'm wondering how to make a time delay of a few seconds using C++. The simplest way that came up to my mind is just to make loop for a few millions time or so, but the delay would change from computer to computer.

For some reason I have trouble with questions like this. How would I get the phase difference if I were given the time delay of two loudspeakers side by side? I'll use this question as an example: "The speakers are now placed side by side. If the wire to speaker 1 is passed through a...
