A
AUTOMATIC VOLUME/GAIN CONTROLA circuit used to limit variations in the output signal strength of a receiver [17]. |
AVALANCHE EFFECTA reverse breakdown effect in diodes that occurs at reverse voltages beyond 5 volts. The released electrons are accelerated by the electric field, which results in a release of more electrons in a chain or "avalanche" effect [7]. |
AVERAGE POWER(1) The peak power value averaged over the pulse-repetition time [12]. (2) Output power of a transmitter as measured from the start of one pulse to the start of the next pulse [18]. |
AVERAGE VALUEThe average of all the instantaneous values of one-half cycle of alternating current [2]. |
AWGThe standards adopted in the United States for the measurement of wire sizes [4]. |
AXISA straight line, either real or imaginary, passing through a body around which the body revolves [15]. |
AZIMUTHAngular measurement in the horizontal plane in a clockwise direction [18]. |
B
BACK RESISTANCEThe larger resistance value observed when you are checking the resistance of a semiconductor [16]. |
BALANCED MIXERA waveguide arrangement that resembles a T and uses crystals for coupling the output to a balanced transformer [18]. |
BALANCED PHASE DETECTORA circuit that controls the oscillator frequency (afc) [17]. |
