MILITARY SPECIFICATIONSTechnical requirements and standards adopted by the Department of Defense that must be met by vendors selling materials to DOD [4]. |
MILITARY STANDARDSStandards of performance for components or equipment that must be met to be acceptable for military systems [14]. |
MILLIA prefix meaning one-thousandth [1]. |
MINIATURE ELECTRONICSModules, packages, pcbs, and so forth, composed exclusively of discrete components [14]. |
MINIMUM DISCERNIBLE SIGNALThe weakest input signal that produces a usable signal at the output of a receiver. The weaker the input signal, the more sensitive the receiver [18]. |
MINOR LOBEThe lobe in which the radiation intensity is less than that of a major lobe [10]. |
MINORITY CARRIERSEither electrons or holes, whichever is the less dominant carrier in a semiconductor device. In P-type semiconductors, electrons are the minority carriers; in N-type semiconductors, the holes are the minority carriers [7]. |
MINORITY CURRENTA very small current that passes through the base-to-collector junction when this junction is reverse biased [7]. |
MIXERIn radar, a circuit that combines the received RF signal with a local-oscillator signal to effectively convert the received signal to a lower IF frequency signal [18]. |
MODE SHIFTINGIn a magnetron, the inadvertent shifting from one mode to another during a pulse [18]. |
