INERTIAThe physical tendency of a body in motion to remain in motion and a body at rest to remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force (Newton's First Law of Motion) [15]. | ||
INFINITE(1) Extending indefinitely, endless. (2) Boundless, having no limits. (3) An incalculable number [1]. | ||
INFRALOW FREQUENCYThe band of frequencies from 300 Hz to 3,000 Hz [19]. | ||
INFRASONICSounds below 15 Hz [10]. | ||
INPUTThe current, voltage, power, or driving force applied to a circuit or device [13]. | ||
INPUT ENDThe end of a two-wire transmission line that is connected to a source [10]. | ||
INPUT IMPEDANCEImpedance presented to the transmitter by the transmission line and its load [10]. | ||
INSTANTANEOUS AMPLITUDEThe amplitude at any given point along a sine wave at a specific instant in time [12]. | ||
INSTANTANEOUS AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROLA circuit that can vary the gain of the radar receiver with each input pulse to maintain a nearly constant output peak amplitude [18]. | ||
INSTANTANEOUS VALUEThe magnitude at any particular instant when a value is continually varying with respect to time [2]. | ||
