  Transmission loss (TL)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The definition of transmission loss (TL) is, " The accumulated decrease in acoustic intensity as an acoustic pressure wave propagates outwards from a source." As the acoustic wave propagates outwards from the source the intensity of the the signal is reduced with increasing range due to:
Transmission loss due to attenuation is represented in the sonar equations in terms of an attenuation coefficient '
The transmission loss is an important term in the sonar equations as it is the only parameter which is a function of the range (R).

 United States Patent Application: 0040091266
An optical transmission system as defined by claim 1, wherein the optical component is a member of the group consisting of an optical multiplexer for combining the component signals and an optical demultiplexer for separating the component signals.
For trunk-line optical transmission systems for which communication demands are booming, researchers and engineers are studying to increase the transmission capacity further by increasing the degree of multiplexing through the narrowing of the wavelength spacing of the component signals.
In the wavelength range of 1,510 to 1,570 nm, the total transmission loss of the optical fiber transmission line 20 has a variation range of 0.9 dB (the term "variation range" is used to mean the difference between the largest and the smallest in a set of numbers).

 Chamber for tesing acoustical transmission loss characteristics of sheet materials - Patent 4397187
Acoustical transmission loss of sheet materials in the low frequency range is measured by utilizing a cylindrical test chamber containing a speaker directed towards the upper end to which the sheet material is mounted.
Transmission losses for the test material are derived across a desired spectrum of frequencies by taking the difference in the two measured particle velocities for individual frequencies.
Transmission loss determination across the sheet material 22 is achieved by measuring the difference in the particle velocities above and below the tested material, while that material is being vibrated by the sound waves emanating from the speaker 9.

Transmission is the transfer of heat energy by conduction and convection through the exterior structure.
The amoung of heat loss through the insulation is usually lower than the amount of loss through the framing.
The foundation below ground level has a lower heat loss because of the insulating effect of the ground; however, insualtion is needed at least to the frostline and is suggested for the entire foundation wall (Figure 5).

 RF Transmission Line Loss Calculator
Transmission line data is entirely stored in the database table, and adding new transmission lines is just a matter of inserting rows in the database table.
Mismatch loss or loss due to standing waves can be determined accurately knowing the propagation constant (γ) of the line and the complex reflection coefficient (Γ) at a known point on the line.
Transmission line manufacturing tolerances are the most likely cause of the greatest error for new transmission lines, and for those that have been in service, degradation (eg ingress of water, contamination of dielectric, physical distortion, stretching, crushing etc) is a potential further source of significant error.

 The Hindu : New Delhi News : `Transmission loss to blame for water crisis'
The inability of the Delhi Jal Board to reduce massive leakages of water during transmission coupled with inequitable distribution seems to be responsible for the worst ever crisis being faced by Delhiites this summer since 1998.
Exposing the inefficiency of the DJB officials, particularly those responsible for transmission and distribution of water, the confidential note stated that at least 210 MGD (million gallons of water per day) was unaccounted for and did not reach the consumers because of leakages and transmission losses.
"Loss of water in the Capital is to the tune of 30 per cent," the note said.

 Transmission Lines - Joseph H. Reisert   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
RF transmission lines come in several types such as open wire, twinlead, coaxial, waveguide etc. This paper will only address the coaxial type since that is the most commonly used type in the communications field.
The disadvantages of coax are that it has insertion loss, power limitations and increases system expenditures, Generally speaking, the greater the flexibility and the smaller the diameter of the coax, the higher the insertion loss.
Finally, when a large diameter low loss coax is used as the main feedline, it is often difficult to connect the coax directly to the antenna.

 Norlite: Sound Absorption
Transmission loss is a measure of the effectiveness of a wall, floor, door or other barrier in restricting the passage of sound The transmission loss varies with frequency and the loss is usually greater with higher frequencies.
The unit of measure of sound transmission loss is the decibel (dB).
Sound Transmission Class (STC) is a single number rating determined in a prescribed manner from sound transmission loss values, This rating is arrived at by comparing the measured transmission losses at the 16 test bands with those of a reference contour having the form illustrated in Figure 1.

 Masonry Technical Library - Masonry Acoustics and STC Ratings
Arithmetic averages of sound transmission loss at selected frequency levels were widely used in the past to rate the effectiveness of walls.
In compliance with ASTM E-90, the STC of a wall is determined by comparing its transmission loss curve with a set of standard curves, or contours.
The standard curve is superimposed over a plot of the actual sound transmission loss curve, and shifted upward or downward relative to the test curve until some of the measured TL values of the test specimen fall below those of the STC contour and the following conditions are fulfilled.

 Radome Transmission Loss and Antenna Pattern Degradation
Radome transmission loss is the sum of the ordinary insertion loss of the antenna (radar) signal passing through the radome wall plus the scattering loss off the radome panel framework blocking (shadowing) the antenna aperture.
The precise details of where this energy goes is dependent on the shadow length and radome transmission loss, the electronic signature of the framework and the positions and orientations of the framework members shadowing the reflector.
In summary, the superior transmission loss performance of the symmetric orange peel random over the quasi-random unit is both a property of the shorter shadow length and smaller electronic signature.

Loss per inch must be expressed as a decimal.
Light striking the input surface of the fiber will be reflected, rather than continuing through the fiber, even though the incidence angle is within the acceptance angle of the fiber.
This phenomena is caused by a difference in refractive indices (light traveling in air with one refractive index, meets the core glass surface, with a different refractive index).

Sound transmission loss is a measure of the ability of the material to block the sound travelling through it.
In non-resonant transmission the incident sound wave impinges on the partition and forces it to move.
Resonant transmission occurs when in incoming sound wave strikes the partition in such a way that the pressure distribution matches the modeshape of one of the panel's modes of vibration at the same frequency as that mode of vibration.
