Electronic engineering

aeolight

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A glow lamp using a cold cathode and a mixture of inert gases. Because its illumination can be regulated with an applied signal voltage, it is sometimes used as a modulation indicator for ...

Crookes tube

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A glow-discharge tube containing an anode, cathode, and a small amount of gas under low pressure.

Central Radio Propagation Laboratory

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A government laboratory that studies radio propagation and collects, correlates, and analyzes data for predicting propagation conditions. The organization also studies methods of measuring ...

A graph in which the dependent variable is an electric current that levels off at, or approaches, a specific maximum. An example is the collector-current versus collector-voltage curve for a bipolar ...

directivity diagram

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A graph of the radiation/ response pattern of a beam antenna or other directional device, usually in a horizontal or vertical plane. Also see directivity pattern.

calibration curve

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A graph showing the relation between the actual values of a quantity and the setting or indication of an instrument or component. Usually plotted in rectangular coordinates.

derating curve

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A graph that shows the extent to which a quantity (such as allowable power dissipation) must be reduced as another quantity (such as temperature) increases.
