edge

Semiconductors; Test equipment

An abrupt voltage or current change.

asynchronous

Semiconductors; Test equipment

An action that takes place at an arbitrary time, without synchronization to a reference timer or clock.

instrumentation amplifier (IA)

Semiconductors; Test equipment

An amplifier circuit with high-impedance differential inputs and high common-mode rejection.

isolation amplifier

Semiconductors; Test equipment

An amplifier that provides electrically isolated inputs and outputs that let it amplify a differential signal that is superimposed on a high common-

dipole

Semiconductors; Test equipment

An antenna made of a straight conductor (usually not longer than half a wavelength) that is divided at its electrical center and connected to a transmission line.

monopole

Semiconductors; Test equipment

An antenna that consists of a straight conductor and is usually not more than one quarter of a wavelength long. A monopole is mounted immediately above, and at a right angle to, a ground plane.
