METER SHUNT

A resistor placed in parallel with the meter terminals; used to provide increased range capability [16].

MHO

Unit of conductance; the reciprocal of the ohm [1].

MICRO

A prefix meaning one-millionth [1].

MICROCIRCUIT

A small circuit having high equivalent-circuit-element density, which is considered as a single part composed of interconnected elements on or within a single substrate to perform an electronic-circuit function [14].

MICROCIRCUIT MODULE

An assembly of microcircuits or a combination of microcircuits and
discrete components that perform one or more distinct functions [14].

MICROELECTRONICS

The solid-state concept of electronics in which compact semiconductor
materials are designed to function as an entire circuit or subassembly rather than as circuit components [7] [14].

MICROPHONE

An energy converter that changes sound energy into electrical energy [12].

MICROWAVE REGION

The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum from 1,000 MHz to 100,000 MHz
[11].

MIL
