aperture
1. In a directional antenna, the portion of a plane surface very near the antenna normal to the direction of maximum radiant intensity, through which the major part of the radiation passes. (188 ) 2. In an acoustic device that launches a sound wave, the passageway, determined by the size of a hole in the inelastic material and the wavelength. [After 2196]

Dish Aperture
The diameter or aperture of a satellite receive dish determines the amount of signal collected from a communication satellite. The larger the aperture, the more signal is intercepted and therefore the higher the gain. The aperture of a prime focus dish can be partially blocked by the feed/LNB and its support structure. For this reason, offset fed antennas are more efficient at the lower end of dish apertures, less than about 1 meter.

APERTURE
Effective Aperture: The apparent diameter of a lens viewed from the position of the object against a diffusely illuminated background, such as a sky. Picture Aperture: The rectangular opening in a metal plate at which each frame of the motion picture film is situated during exposure, printing, or projection. Relative Aperture: The ratio of the focal length of a lens to its effective aperture for an object located at infinity. See f/number.

Aperture
In any type of camera, light is focused by the lens, through an aperture and onto the focal plane. The size of the aperture controls how much light passes through to the focal plane. In addition to controlling the brightness of the exposure, the aperture controls the depth of field in the image. By balancing the size of the aperture (as measured in f-stops) with the shutter speed you can trade off between varying depth of field, and or the ability to better-resolve fast motion.

Aperture
In optics, an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light is admitted. More specifically, the aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane.
An optical system typically has many openings, or structures that limit the ray bundles (ray bundles are also known as pencils of light). These structures may be the edge of a lens or mirror, or a ring or other fixture that holds an optical element in place, or may be a special element such as a diaphragm placed in the optical path to limit the light admitted by the system. In general, these structures are called stops, and the aperture stop is the stop that determines the ray cone angle, or equivalently the brightness, at an image point.
