Electronic engineering

CW laser

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A laser that emits energy in an uninterrupted stream, rather than in pulses.

cavity laser

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A laser that employs a resonant cavity filled with gas, such as helium/neon or argon, and a pair of reflectors. Resonance occurs between the reflectors, one of which is totally reflective and the ...

argon laser

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A laser whose tube is filled with argon gas. It generates coherent light at specific wavelengths that are characteristic of elemental argon.

D layer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A layer of the ionosphere that is below the E layer; its altitude is approximately 60 kilometers.

braided wire

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A length of braid. Used for grounding or shielding purposes.

double-diode limiter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A limiter in which two diodes are connected back to back in parallel, to limit both peaks of an alternating-current (ac) signal.

audio limiter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A limiter or clipper operated in the audio-frequency (AF) channel of a receiver or transmitter to hold the output-signal amplitude constant, or to minimize the effect of noise peaks.
