Electronic engineering
diversity factor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. A measure of the degree to which a system exhibits unity among its constituents. 2. The sum of the requirements of each constituent of a system, divided by the total requirement of the system.
directivity factor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. A measure of the directivity of an antenna or transducer. 2. In acoustics, the ratio, in decibels, between the gain in the maximum direction and the gain in the minimum direction, for a ...
calibrated measurement
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. A measurement made with an instrument that has been calibrated with a standard reference source. 2. A measurement that is corrected for instrument error.
can
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. A metal enclosure or container roughly resembling a tin can (though not necessarily cylindrical), used for shielding or potting components. 2. Colloquial expression for headphone.
damped meter
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. A meter with a provision for overswing limiting or oscillation prevention. 2. A meter that is protected during transport by a shorting bus between the two meter terminals.
digital transmission
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. A method of signal transmission in which the modulation occurs in defined increments, rather than over a continuous range. 2. A message that is sent in digital form.
concatenation
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. A method of speed control for a 3-phase motor in which two induction motors are operated with their shafts coupled together. The stator of the first motor is connected to the 3- phase supply, and ...
