File Near Sawrey geograph.org.uk 218927.jpg thumb Near Sawrey Near Sawrey and Far Sawrey are two neighbouring villages in the Furness area of Cumbria . They are located in the Lake District between the town of Hawkshead and the lake of Windermere lake Windermere . The two lie on the B5285 road B5285 , which runs from Hawkshead to the Windermere Ferry , a RORO car ferry across Windermere one mile to the east of the villages. The two are famous for their association with Beatrix Potter . She lived at Hill Top, Cumbria Hill Top Farm in Near Sawrey, first arriving at age 30 in 1896. A number of sites in the villages were used in her books such as The Tale of Tom Kitten , The Fairy Caravan and The Tale of Jemima Puddle Duck . The villages date from at least the 14th century, when Near Sawrey was known as Sourer , becoming Narr Sawrey by the 17th century suggesting that Far Sawrey must have been in existence by this time . Near Sawrey contains a pub, while Far Sawrey has the parish church, a hotel, pub and village shop. The village shop ceased to function as a post office about 2003. There are waymarked paths between the ferry and Beatrix Potter s house which largely avoid walking on the public roads.

refimprove date October 2007 The nearfar problem or hearability problem is a situation that is common in wireless communication systems, in particular, CDMA . In some Radio jamming signal jamming techniques, the nearfar problem is exploited to disrupt communications. Technical explanation The nearfar problem is a condition in which a receiver captures a strong signal and thereby making it impossible for the receiver to detect a weaker signal. ref name Rappaport Wireless Communications Principles and Practice, Second Edition, Theodore S. Rappaport. ref The nearfar problem is particularly difficult in CDMA systems where transmitters share transmission frequencies and transmission time. br In contrast, FDMA and Time division multiple access TDMA systems are less vulnerable. The issue of the dynamic range of one or more stages of a receiver limiting that receiver s ability to detect a weak signal in the presence of strong signal has been around for a long time. The nearfar problem usually refers to a specific case of this in which Analog to digital converter ADC resolution limits the range of signals a receiver can detect in a direct sequence spread spectrum Direct sequence spread spectrum DSSS system such as CDMA . The receiver s Automatic gain control AGC must reduce its gain to prevent ADC saturation. This causes the weaker signal to fall into the noise of the ADC.

Electromagnetic nearfield scanner could be defined as a measurement system to determine a spatial distribution of an electrical quantity provided by a single or multiple field probes acquired in the nearfield region of a device under test possibly accompanied by the associated numerical post processing methods enabling a conversion of the measured quantity into electromagnetic field . Depending on a signal receiver detecting the probe signal, voltage as a function of time or frequency is a typical measured quantity.

Wikify date January 2012 Unreferenced date February 2007 Nearfield optics is that branch of optics that considers configurations that depend on the passage of light to, from, through, or near an element with subwavelength features and the coupling of that light to a second element located a subwavelength distance from the first. The barrier of spatial resolution imposed by the very nature of light itself in conventional optical microscopy contributed significantly to the development of nearfield optical devices, most notably the nearfield scanning optical microscope , or NSOM. The limit of optical resolution in a conventional microscope, the so called diffraction limit, is on the order of half the wavelength of the light used to image. Thus, when imaging at visible wavelengths the smallest resolvable objects are several hundred nanometers in size. Using nearfield optical techniques, researchers currently resolve features on the order of tens of nanometers in size. While other imaging techniques e.g. atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy can resolve features of much smaller size, the many advantages of optical microscopy make nearfield optics a field of considerable interest. The notion of developing a nearfield optical device was first conceived by Edward Hutchinson Synge in 1928 but was not realized experimentally until the 1950s when several researchers demonstrated the feasibility of sub wavelength resolution. Published images of sub wavelength resolution appeared when Ash and Nichols examined gratings with line spacing less than one millimeter using microwaves of 3 cm wavelength. In 1982 Dieter Pohl at IBM in Zurich, Switzerland, first obtained sub wavelength resolution at visible wavelengths using nearfield optical techniques.
