The study of biomechanics ranges from the inner workings of a cell to the movement and development of limbs, to the mechanical properties of soft tissue, and bones.
Radio telescope. A radio telescope is a specialized antenna and radio receiver used to receive radio waves from astronomical radio sources in the sky in radio astronomy. Radio telescopes are the main observing instrument used in radio astronomy, which studies the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by astronomical objects, just as optical telescopes are the main observing instrument used in traditional optical astronomy which studies the light wave portion of the spectrum coming from astronomical objects.
The Parkes radio telescope. In the PULSE@Parkes scheme you will use the Parkes radio telescope to make your observations. In this section you will learn the basics of how a single-dish radio telescope such as Parkes works. A radio telescope is simply a telescope that is designed to receive radio waves from space. In its simplest form it has three components: 1  One or more antennas to collect the incoming radio waves. 2  A receiver and amplifier to boost the very weak radio signal to a measurable level. 3  A recorder to keep a record of the signal.
