Electronics (Mike Jaroch)

Waves radiated with their E field component parallel to the earth's surface [10].

A funnel-shaped section of waveguide used as a termination device and as a radiating antenna [11].

See HORN RADIATOR [18].

A tapered, tubular or rectangular microwave antenna that is widest at the open end [18].

The English unit of power equal to work done at the rate of 550 foot-pounds per second; equal to 746 watts of electrical power [1].

A permanent magnet or electromagnet bent into the shape of a horseshoe or
having a U-shape to bring the two poles near each other [1].

A carrier, which may be either a hole or an electron, that has relatively high energy with respect to the carriers normally found in majority-carrier devices [11].

A semiconductor diode in which hot carriers are emitted from a semiconductor
layer into the metal base. Also called HOT-ELECTRON DIODE. An example is the Schottky barrier diode [11].

A meter movement that uses the expansion of a heated wire to move the pointer of a meter; measures dc or ac [3].

A circuit where passive components (resistors, capacitors) are deposited onto a
substrate made of glass, ceramic, or other insulating material. Then the active components (diodes, transistors) are attached to the substrate and connected to the passive components on the substrate with a very fine wire [7].
