MAGNETIC TRIP ELEMENTA circuit breaker trip element that uses the increasing magnetic attraction of a coil with increased current to open the circuit [3]. | ||
MAGNETRON OSCILLATORAn electron tube that provides a high power output. Theory of operation is based on interaction of electrons with the crossed electric and magnetic fields in a resonant cavity [18]. | ||
MAINTENANCEWork done to correct, reduce, or counteract wear, failure, and damage to equipment [16]. | ||
MAJOR LOBEThe lobe in which the greatest amount of radiation occurs [10]. | ||
MAJORITY CARRIERSThe mobile charge carriers (hole or electron) which are predominate in a semiconductor material; for example, electrons in an N-type region [7]. | ||
MARCONI ANTENNAA quarter-wave antenna that is operated with one end grounded and is positioned perpendicular to the earth [10]. | ||
MARKAn interval during which a signal is present. Also the presence of an RF signal in cw keying. The key-closed condition (presence of data) in communications systems [12]. | ||
MARKINGThe state where a circuit is closed and current flows in teletypewriter operation [17]. | ||
MASKA device used to deposit materials on a substrate in the desired pattern [14]. | ||
