END-FIRE ARRAYAn array in which the direction of radiation is parallel to the axis of the array [10]. | ||
ENERGYThe ability or capacity to do work [1]. | ||
Ep-Ip CURVEThe characteristic curve of an electron tube used to graphically depict the relationship between plate voltage (Ep) and plate current (Ip) [6]. | ||
EPHEMERISA table showing the precalculated position of a satellite at any given time [17]. | ||
EPITAXIAL PROCESSA method of depositing a thin, uniformly doped crystalline region (layer) on a substrate [14]. | ||
EQUATORIAL ORBITAn orbit that occurs when the plane of a satellite coincides with the plane of the earth at the equator [17]. | ||
EQUIVALENT RESISTANCEA resistance that represents the total ohmic values of a circuit component or group of circuit components. Usually drawn as a single resistor in a simplified circuit [1]. | ||
ERECTINGThe positioning of a gyro into a desired position and the maintaining of that position [15]. | ||
ERROR DETECTORThe component in a servosystem that determines when the load has deviated from its ordered position, velocity, and so forth [15]. | ||
ERROR REDUCERThe name commonly given to the servomotor in a servosystem. So named because it reduces the error signal by providing feedback to the error detector [15]. | ||
