BEVERAGE ANTENNAA horizontal, long-wire antenna designed for reception and transmission of low-frequency, vertically polarized ground waves [10]. |
BIASDifference of potential applied to a vacuum tube or transistor to establish a reference operating level [13]. |
BIAS CURRENTCurrent that flows through the base-emitter junction of a transistor and is adjusted to set the operating point of the transistor [13]. |
BIDIRECTIONAL ARRAYAn array that radiates in opposite directions along the line of maximum radiation [10]. |
BINARY(1) A number system that uses a base, or radix, of 2. Two digits (1 and 0) are used in the binary system. (2) Pertaining to a characteristic that involves the selection, choice, or condition in which there are only two possibilities. (3) A bistable multivibrator (flip-flop) is one example of a binary device [13]. |
BINARY CODEA method of representing two possible conditions (on or off, high or low, one or zero, the presence of a signal or absence of a signal). Electronic circuits designed to work in such a way that only two conditions are possible [13]. |
BINARY DIGIT(1) A character that represents one of the two digits in the number system that has a radix of two. (2) Either of the digits 0 or 1 that may be used to represent the binary conditions of on or off [13]. |
BINARY NOTATIONSee BINARY NUMBER SYSTEM [13]. |
BINARY NUMBER SYSTEMA number system using two digits, symbols, or characters (usually 1 and 0) [13]. |
BINARY POINTThe radix point that separates powers of two and fractional powers of two in a binary number [13]. |
