drop-out

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The opening of a relay or circuit breaker. 2. In digital computer operations, variation in signal level of the reproduced tape recorded data. Such variation can result in errors in data ...

driver impedance

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The output impedance of a driver stage. 2. The impedance “seen” from the driven stage of an amplifier, through the driver transformer, to the driver stage. It is the vector sum of driver ...

downlink power

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The output power of the downlink transmitter in an active communications satellite. 2. The effective radiated power (ERP) of the downlink signal from an active communications satellite.

component failure rate

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The percentage of components, out of a specified group, that can be expected to fail within a specified length of time. 2. The frequency with which a given component, in a certain application, ...

acoustics

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The physics of sound. The study and applications of acoustic phenomena. 2. The qualities of an enclosure or sound chamber (room, auditorium, or box) that describe how sound waves behave in it.

aphelion

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The point at which a solar-orbiting satellite attains its highest altitude. It occurs once for every complete orbit. At this point, the satellite travels slower than at any other point in the ...
