S
STABILITYIn a magnetron, the ability to maintain normal operating characteristics [18]. |
STAGEOne of a series of circuits within a single device; for example, first stage of amplification [8]. |
STAGGER TUNINGA method of klystron tuning in which the resonant cavities are tuned to slightly different frequencies to increase the bandwidth of the amplifier [11]. |
STANDING WAVEThe distribution of voltage and current, formed by the incident and reflected waves, that has minimum and maximum points on a resultant wave that appear to stand still [10]. |
STARTThe first unit of a teletypewriter signal. It is always a space [17]. |
STATIC(1) A fixed nonvarying condition, without motion [13]. (2) Atmospheric noise, as in a receiver. |
STATIC ELECTRICITYStationary electricity that is in the form of a charge. The accumulated electric charge on an object [1]. |
STATOR(1) The stationary part of a rotating electrical machine. The stator may be either the field or the armature, depending on the design of the machine [5]. (2) The stationary member of a synchro that consists of a cylindrical structure of slotted laminations on which three Y-connected coils are wound with their axes 120 degrees apart. Depending on the type of synchro, the stator's functions are similar to the primary or secondary windings of a transformer [15]. |
STATUTE MILE5,280 feet [18]. |
STEP-BY-STEP COUNTERA counter that provides an output for each cycle of the input in one-step increments [9]. |
