N
NODEThe fixed minimum points of voltage or current on a standing wave or antenna [10]. |
NOISE(1) In reference to sound, an unwanted disturbance caused by spurious waves that originate from man-made or natural sources [10]. (2) In radar, erratic or random deflection or intensity of the indicator sweep that tends to mask small echo signals [18]. |
NOISE FIGUREThe ratio of output noise to input noise in a receiver [18]. |
NOISE LIMITERCircuit that clips the peaks of the noise spikes in a receiver [17]. |
NOISE SILENCERSee NOISE LIMITER [17]. |
NOISE SUPPRESSORSee NOISE LIMITER [17]. |
NONDEGENERATIVE PARAMETRIC AMPLIFIERA parametric amplifier that uses a pump signal frequency that is higher than twice the frequency of the input signal [11]. |
NONDIRECTIONALSee OMNIDIRECTIONAL [10]. |
NONLINEAR DEVICEA device in which the output does not rise and fall in direct proportion to the input [6] [7] [12]. |
NONLINEAR IMPEDANCEAn impedance in which the resulting current through the device is not proportional to the applied voltage [12]. |
