ZENER DIODE

A PN-junction diode designed to operate in the reverse-bias breakdown region [7].

ZENER EFFECT

A reverse breakdown effect in diodes in which breakdown occurs at reverse voltages below 5 volts. The presence of a high energy field at the junction of a semiconductor produces the breakdown [7].

ZEROING

The process of adjusting a synchro to its electrical zero position [15].

ZONE OF MUTUAL VISIBILITY

The area where the satellite can be seen by both the up- and down-link earth terminals [17].
