Electronic engineering

character string

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A one-dimensional character array (i.e., a list of characters that, when printed or displayed, would appear in a row or column, but not both (as in a matrix)).

capacitive window

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A pair of capacitive diaphragms used in a waveguide to introduce capacitive reactance.

balanced line

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A pair of parallel wires that possesses a uniform characteristic impedance. The two conductors are of the same material and have identical diameters. The distance between them is constant. In a ...

circuit board

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A panel, plate, or card on which electronic components are mounted and interconnected to provide a functional unit.

Cutler antenna

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A parabolic-dish antenna, in which the driven element consists of a waveguide that has two apertures on opposite sides of a resonant cavity.

dropsonde

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A parachute-supported radiosonde dropped from a high-flying aircraft.

critical characteristic

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A parameter that has a disproportionate effect on other variables. A small change in this characteristic can result in a large change in the operating conditions of a circuit or system.
