Contributors in Electronic engineering

Electronic engineering

center-tapped resistor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A fixed resistor that has a tap at half the total resistance.

channel strip

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A fixed-channel amplifier for a television receiver.

crystal holder

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A fixture specially designed to hold a piezoelectric crystal; it ensures minimum distortion of crystal dimensions and minimum residual capacitance, inductance, and resistance.

backplate

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A flat electrode in a television (TV) camera tube that receives the stored-charge image via capacitive coupling.

beaver tail

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A flat or elongated radar beam, wide in the azimuth plane. Primarily used to determine the altitude of a target. The beam is moved up and down to find the target elevation.

dual-inline package (DIP)

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A flat, molded integrated-circuit (IC) package having terminal pins along both long edges.

crystal imperfection

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A flaw in the lattice structure of a crystal.
