Electronic engineering
aerial cable
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A wire or cable run through the air, using support structures, such as towers or poles.
drop wire
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A wire that runs from a building to a pole (for line extension) or to a cable terminal (for cable extension).
adjustable resistor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A wirewound resistor in which the resistance wire is partially exposed to allow varying the component’s value.
adjustable voltage divider
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A wirewound resistor with terminals that slide on exposed resistance wire to produce various voltage values.
bifilar resistor
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A wirewound resistor with two oppositely wound filaments. The nature of the winding tends to cancel the inductance, making the device useful at a much higher frequency than an ordinary wirewound ...
control word
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A word (a bit group) stored in a computer memory and used for a control function.
automatic direction finder
Engineering; Electronic engineering
Abbreviated ADF. A specialized receiver/antenna combination for automatically showing the direction from which a signal arrives.
