Electronic engineering

discrete circuit

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A circuit comprised of discrete components, such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors, not fabricated into an integrated circuit.

current lag

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A circuit condition in which current variations are delayed by up to 180 degrees of phase relative to voltage variations. Compare current lead.

current lead

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A circuit condition in which current variations occur earlier than voltage variations by up to 180 degrees of phase. Compare current lag.

collinear antenna

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A broadside directional antenna consisting of two or more half-wave radiators; the current is kept in phase in each section by quarter-wave stubs between each radiating section. The radiators are ...

bus driver

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A buffering device designed to increase the driving capability of a microprocessor, which itself might be capable of driving no more than a single load.

coherent bundle

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A bundle of optical fibers, such that the individual fibers are in the same relative positions at either end of the bundle.

button capacitor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A button-shaped ceramic or silvered- mica fixed capacitor. Because of its disk shape and mode of terminal connection, it offers very low internal inductance.
