P
PLATE DISSIPATIONThe amount of power lost as heat in the plate of a vacuum tube [6]. |
PLATE KEYINGA keying system in which the plate supply is interrupted [12]. |
PLATE MODULATORAn electron-tube modulator in which the modulating voltage is applied to the plate circuit of the tube [12]. |
PLATE RESISTANCEThe plate voltage change divided by the resultant plate current change in a vacuum tube, all other conditions being fixed [6]. |
POINT BENDERA tool used to adjust the contact spacing on a relay [3]. |
POINT OF ZERO DISPLACEMENTSee REFERENCE LINE [10]. |
POINT-CONTACT DIODEA diode in which the end of a fine wire is pressed against a semiconductor. Used as a detector or mixer over the microwave region [7]. |
POINT-TO-POINT WIRINGIndividual wires run from terminal to terminal to complete a circuit [14]. |
POLARThe teletypewriter operation in which current flow of one polarity represents a mark, and current of the opposite polarity represents a space [17]. |
POLAR ORBITAn orbit that has an angle of inclination of or near 90 degrees [17]. |
