audio
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. Pertaining to the spectrum of frequencies corresponding to the human hearing range (about 20 Hz to 20 kHz), or to equipment or performance associated with that spectrum. 2. Any disturbance, such ...
accuracy
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. Precision in the measurement of quantities and in the statement of physical characteristics. 2. Degree of precision. Usually expressed, in terms of error, as a percentage of the specified value ...

distance resolution
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. Qualitatively, the ability of a ranging system to differentiate between two objects or beacons that are almost, but not quite, the same distance away. See ranging. 2. Quantitatively, the minimum ...
damping action
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. Quenching action. 2. The prevention of overswing, dither, or flutter in a meter or loudspeaker (See damped galvanometer, damped loudspeaker, damped meter). 3. The prevention of oscillation or ...
airwaves
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. Radio waves. The term is slang, but is widely used. It probably came from the public’s mistaken notion that radio signals are propagated by the air. 2. Skywaves.
