Time delay estimation
Time delay estimation (TDE) is a signal processing method that estimates the relative arrival delay between signals received at two or more sensors, used in radar, sonar, and acoustics.
Time delay interferometry
Time delay interferometry, or delay interferometry, is a data-analysis technique for space-based gravitational-wave detectors like LISA that cancels laser frequency noise by combining time-shifted spacecraft measurements.
Time delay neural network
A time delay neural network (TDNN) is a feedforward neural network that feeds delayed copies of an input signal into the network to recognize temporal patterns in speech.
Time deposit
A time deposit is a bank deposit held for a fixed term, withdrawable only at maturity or at a penalty cost; its best-known form is the certificate of deposit.
Time dilation
Time dilation, also known as the Urashima effect, is the difference in elapsed time measured by two clocks that move relative to each other or sit at different gravitational potentials.
Time domain analysis
Time domain analysis examines a system's signals as explicit functions of time, producing response waveforms and performance measures like overshoot, rise time, and settling time.
Time domain equalization
Time domain equalization corrects intersymbol interference by filtering received signal samples in the time domain, typically with a tapped delay line whose taps are automatically adapted.
