division of vectors
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The quotient of two rectangular vectors determined by the principle of rationalization in algebra (i.e., by multiplying the numerator and denominator of the indicated division ...
antenna wire
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The radiator element of a wiretype antenna. 2. A strong solid or stranded wire (e.g., hard-drawn copper, copper-clad steel, or phosphor-bronze) used for antennas.
ambient-temperature range
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The range over which ambient temperature varies at a given location. 2. The range of ambient temperature that will cause no malfunction of, or damage to, a circuit or device.
charging rate
Engineering; Electronic engineering
