blind zone
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. In radar operations, an area that gives no echoes. 2. Skip zone (See zone of silence).
artificial echo
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. In radar practice, the reflections of a transmitted pulse returned by an artificial target. 2. A signal from a pulsed radio-frequency (RF) generator, delayed to simulate an echo.
communication channel
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. In radio or wire service, a (usually auxiliary) channel for direct exchange of information between units of the service (e.g., a “talking circuit” between a broadcast studio and the transmitter ...
