isotropicRefers to properties that do not differ no matter which direction is measured. For example, an isotropic antenna radiates almost the same power in all directions. In practice, antennas cannot be 100% isotropic. However, a perfect isotropic antenna, called an "isotropic radiator," can be calculated, and it is used as a basis for measuring the signal strength of real antennas. Contrast with anisotropic. See dBi. isotropic, isotropous 1. having uniform physical properties in all directions 2. Biology not having predetermined axes How to thank TFD for its existence?

The CIP Group, sells and machines isotropic graphite, extruded graphite, molded graphite and carbon-carbon composite. The case for anthropogenic global warming necessarily rests upon the presumptions that (1) the sun is an isotropic and isochronous radiator, and (2) that the energy density of space, filled with electromagnetic radiation across the entire electromagnetic spectrum from trillions of cosmic radiators, is a constant. It offers high flow and isotropic shrinkage for almost warp-free moldings. |
