Electronic engineering

beam bender

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. In a television (TV) picture tube, the ion-trap magnet. 2. Deflection-plate correction device or circuit.

drift space

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. In a vacuum tube, a space that is nearly free of alternating-current (ac) fields from the outside, and in which the repositioning of electrons is governed by the space-charge forces and the ...

contrast

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. In a video image, the degree to which adjacent areas of a picture are differentiated. Insufficient contrast makes for a “flat” picture; excessive contrast, a “hard” picture. 2. In optical ...

1. In adding a column of figures, the digit added to the column at the left when the sum exceeds one less than the radix value. 2. In digital computers and counters, a pulse that corresponds to the ...

attenuation characteristic

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. In an amplifier, network, or component, the decrease in signal amplitude as a function of frequency, usually expressed in decibels per octave. 2. In a transmission line, the decrease in signal ...

attenuation constant

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. In an amplifier, network, or component, the decrease in signal amplitude as a function of frequency, usually expressed in decibels per octave. 2. In a transmission line, the decrease in signal ...

directivity

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. In an antenna, a directional response. 2. The degree to which the radiation or sensitivity of a transducer is concentrated in certain directions. 3. The angle between the half-power points of a ...
