Glossary: Electronics (Mike Jaroch)

BATTERY CAPACITY

The amount of energy available from a battery. Battery capacity is expressed in
ampere-hours [1].

BAUD

A measurement of speed based on the number of code elements or units per second [17].

BAY

Part of an antenna array [10].

BEAM

See LOBE [18].

BEAM-LEAD CHIP

Semiconductor chip with electrodes (leads) extended beyond the wafer [14].

BEAM-POWER TUBE

An electron tube in which the grids are aligned with the control grid. Special
beam-forming plates are used to concentrate the electron stream into a beam. Because of this action, the beam-power tube has high power-handling capabilities [6].

BEARING

An angular measurement of the direction of an object from a reference direction, such as true north [11].

BEARING RESOLUTION

Ability of a radar to distinguish between targets that are close together in
bearing [18].

BEAT FREQUENCIES

Difference and sum frequencies, which result from the combination of two
separate frequencies [18].

BEAT FREQUENCY

The difference between the oscillator frequency and the unknown audio frequency
[16].
