U
ULTRAHIGH FREQUENCYThe band of frequencies from 300 megahertz to 3 gigahertz [17]. |
ULTRASONIC(1) Sounds above 20,000 hertz [10]. (2) Supersonic. |
UNBALANCED CRYSTAL MIXERA circuit consisting of a section of coaxial transmission line one-half wavelength long that is tuned to the difference (intermediate) frequency between the local oscillator and RF echo signals [18]. |
UNIDIRECTIONALIn one direction only [1]. |
UNIDIRECTIONAL ARRAYAn antenna array that radiates in only one general direction [10]. |
UNIJUNCTION TRANSISTOR(UJT)—A three-terminal, semiconductor device with a negative resistance characteristic that is used in switching circuits, oscillators, and wave-shaping circuits [7] |
UNIT(1) An assembly or any combination of parts, subassemblies, and assemblies mounted together. Normally capable of independent operation [17]. (2) A single object or thing [13]. |
UNIT SIZEThe standards adopted to make comparisons between things of like value (for example, the unit size for conductors is the mil-foot) [4]. |
UNIVERSAL TIME CONSTANT CHARTA chart used to find the time constant of a circuit if the impressed voltage and the values of R and C or R and L are known [2]. |
UNTUNED LINEAnother name for the flat or nonresonant line [10]. |
