blip

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The pulse-like figure on a radar scan, indicating the transmission or reflection (see A-scan and J-scan). Also called PIP. 2. In visual alignment of a tuned circuit using a sweep generator and ...

1. The quotient of two rectangular vectors determined by the principle of rationalization in algebra (i.e., by multiplying the numerator and denominator of the indicated division by the conjugate of ...

antenna wire

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The radiator element of a wiretype antenna. 2. A strong solid or stranded wire (e.g., hard-drawn copper, copper-clad steel, or phosphor-bronze) used for antennas.

ambient-temperature range

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The range over which ambient temperature varies at a given location. 2. The range of ambient temperature that will cause no malfunction of, or damage to, a circuit or device.

charging rate

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The rate at which charging current flows into a storage cell or battery, expressed in amperes or milliamperes. For most cells and batteries, the rate is greatest initially, when the cell or ...

amplification factor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The ratio of the output voltage, current, or power to the input voltage, current, or power of an amplifier circuit. For voltage or current, this ratio has meaning only when the input and output ...

differential voltage gain

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. The ratio, in decibels, between the differential output and differential input voltages of an amplifier. 2. The instantaneous ratio, in decibels, between the rate of change of the output signal ...
