Electronic engineering

approximate data

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. Data obtained through physical measurements. Such data can never be exact; all measurements are subject to error. 2. Loosely estimated data or imprecise calculations.

analog data

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. Data represented in a quantitatively analogous way. Examples are the deflection of a movable-coil meter, the positioning of a slider on a slide rule, and the setting of a variable resistor to ...

dc source

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. dc generator. 2. A live circuit point from which one or more direct currents can be taken.

1. Deformation of a signal waveform. 2. The additional deformation of a signal exhibiting a less-than-ideal waveshape when it passes through a circuit. Some distortion originates within the signal ...

dendritic growth

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. Dendrite (See dendrite, 1). 2. The process of growing long, flat semiconductor crystals.

directional

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. Depending on direction or orientation. 2. Having a concentration in an identifiable direction. 3. Pertaining to a transducer in which radiation, or sensitivity, is concentrated in certain ...

diagnosis

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. Determination of the cause and location of a hardware malfunction. 2. In computer operations, determination of the cause of a system operation error.
