delay
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The interval between the instant at which a signal or force is applied or removed and the instant at which a circuit or device subsequently responds in a specified manner. 2. The time required ...
absolute temperature scale
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The Kelvin temperature scale, in which the divisions are equal in size to 1° Celsius, and the zero point is absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature, approximately –273.16° Celsius. 2. The ...
aperture
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The larger, normally open end of a horn antenna or horn loudspeaker. 2. An opening in an opaque disk or mask that passes a predetermined amount of light or other radiant energy. 3. The portion ...
beam alignment
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The lining-up of a directional transmitting antenna with a directional receiving antenna for maximum signal transfer. 2. In a television (TV) camera tube, the lining-up of the electron beam so ...
anomalous propagation
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The low-attenuation propagation of UHF or microwave signals through atmospheric layers. 2. Unusual, bizarre, or unexplainable electromagnetic-wave propagation (e.g., apparent F-layer ionospheric ...
bias stabilization
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The maintenance of a constant bias voltage, despite variations in load impedance or line voltage. It is usually accomplished by means of automatic voltage regulation. 2. The stabilization of ...
atomic weight
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The mass of a particular atom in atomic mass units (amu). 2. A number characterizing the average mass of individual atoms for a specific isotope of an element. Thus, carbon 12 (C12) has an atomic ...
