END-FIRE ARRAY

An array in which the direction of radiation is parallel to the axis of the array [10].

ENERGY

The ability or capacity to do work [1].

Ep-Ip CURVE

The characteristic curve of an electron tube used to graphically depict the relationship between plate voltage (Ep) and plate current (Ip) [6].


EPHEMERIS

A table showing the precalculated position of a satellite at any given time [17].

EPITAXIAL PROCESS

A method of depositing a thin, uniformly doped crystalline region (layer) on a
substrate [14].


EQUATORIAL ORBIT

An orbit that occurs when the plane of a satellite coincides with the plane of the earth at the equator [17].


EQUIVALENT RESISTANCE

A 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].


ERECTING

The positioning of a gyro into a desired position and the maintaining of that
position [15].


ERROR DETECTOR

The component in a servosystem that determines when the load has deviated from its ordered position, velocity, and so forth [15].


ERROR REDUCER

The 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].
