CAVITY WAVEMETERAn instrument used to measure microwave frequencies [16]. |
CELLA single unit that transforms chemical energy into electrical energy. Batteries are made up of cells [1]. |
CENTER-FEED METHODConnecting the center of an antenna to a transmission line which is then connected to the final (output) stage of the transmitter [10]. |
CENTIMETER CUBEA unit of volume of large rectangular or square conductors. The cross-sectional area equals 1 square centimeter with a length of 1 centimeter [4]. |
CHANNELA carrier frequency assignment, usually with a fixed bandwidth [12]. |
CHARACTERA letter, digit, or other symbol that is used as part of the organization, control, or representation of information [13]. |
CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCEThe ratio of voltage to current at any given point on a transmission line represented by a value of impedance [10]. |
CHARGERepresents electrical energy. A material having an excess of electrons is said to have a negative charge. A material having a shortage of electrons is said to have a positive charge [1]. |
CHARGE CYCLEThe period of time that a capacitor in an electrical circuit is storing a charge [2]. |
CHOKEAn inductor used to impede the flow of pulsating dc or ac by means of self-inductance [6] [7]. |
