Electronic engineering

concentrated-arc lamp

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A brilliant low-voltage lamp, containing nonvaporizing electrodes in an inert-gas atmosphere. An arc across the electrodes creates the light source.

double-diamond antenna

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A broadband antenna consisting of two rhomboid plates, one attached to each side of the feeder.

double-vee antenna

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A broadband, modified dipole antenna resembling two vees in line. Also see vee antenna.

breakdown voltage

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The voltage at which current suddenly passes in destructive amounts through a dielectric. 2. The voltage at which a gas suddenly ionizes, as in a gas tube. 3. The voltage at which the reverse ...

differential voltage

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The voltage difference between the input signals to a differential device. 2. The breakdown voltage minus the operating voltage for a lamp.

1. The ways in which a point can move or a system can change. In three-dimensional space, a rigid body has six degrees of freedom: motion in three linear directions, and rotation around three linear ...

align

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. To adjust (i.e., to preset) the circuits of an electronic system, such as a receiver, transmitter, or test instrument, for predetermined response. 2. To arrange elements in a certain precise ...
