Electronic engineering

Electronic engineering is an engineering discipline focused on the design, fabrication, testing and operation of circuits, electronic components, devices, and systems.

Contributors in Electronic engineering

Electronic engineering

direct-recording instrument

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A device, such as a graphic recorder, that directly produces a permanent record (such as an inked trace) of the variations of a quantity.

application schematic diagram

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A diagram of pictorial symbols and lines that illustrate the interrelationship of functional circuit blocks in a specific program mode.

dielectric matching plate

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A dielectric plate used in some waveguides for impedance matching.

differential-input amplifier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A differential amplifier whose output is proportional to the difference between two input signals—each applied between an input terminal and common ground.

differential protective relay

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A differential relay that operates to protect equipment or personnel when the difference between the two actuating quantities reaches a prescribed level.

diffused planar transistor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A diffused transistor in which emitter, base, and collector electrodes are exposed at the face of the wafer, which has an oxide layer to forestall leakage between surface electrodes.

data selector/multiplexer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A digital circuit that has several or many input signals, and feeds one of them onto a common line.
