Electronic engineering

desktop computer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A personal computer designed for nonportable use, usually equipped with a built-in hard disk, one or more diskette drives, a CD-ROM drive, and a fax/modem. It generally uses an external ...

digital phase shifter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A phase shifter actuated by a digital control signal.

billboard antenna

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A phased group of dipole antennas that lie in one plane. A reflector might be used behind the entire array.

directional phase shifter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A phase-shifting circuit in which the characteristics are different in one direction, as compared with the other direction.

Becquerel effect

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A phenomenon in which a voltage is produced when radiant energy, such as infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, or X-rays, falls on one electrode in an electrolytic cell.

A phenomenon similar to the hall effect, in which a current flows around a disk carrying a radial current when the disk is inserted into a magnetic field whose lines of flux are perpendicular to the ...

double clocking

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A phenomenon that occurs in some digital circuits when the input pulse is nonuniform, and appears as two pulses to the device. The device is thus actuated at twice the desired frequency.
