Electronic engineering

bending effect

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The downward refraction of a radio wave by the ionosphere. 2. The low-atmosphere turning of a radio wave downward by temperature discontinuity and atmospheric inversions.

1. The ease with which a material can be flexed or bent, an important characteristic of transducers (such as loudspeakers). Expressed in cm/dyne, compliance is the reciprocal of stiffness, and is the ...

conduction current

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The electromagnetic-field flow that occurs in the direction of propagation. A measure of the ease with which the field is propagated. 2. Current in a wire or other conductor.

bioluminescence

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The emission of light by a living organism. 2. The light itself so produced by living organisms.

bioengineering

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The engineering of equipment, such as electron microscopes, electroencephalographs, centrifuges, irradiators, etc., for study and experimentation in the life sciences. 2. The engineering of ...

context

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The environment in which a word is used in a natural language (such as English, Spanish, or Russian). Important in speech recognition and speech synthesis. 2. The environment in which a string of ...

amplitude error

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The error in measuring the amplitude of a signal, normally expressed as a percentage of signal amplitude or as a percentage of full scale. 2. The frequency at which the output amplitude of a ...
