Electronics (Mike Jaroch)

Operation in which the magnetron fires randomly, rather than firing on each
successive pulse as desired [18].

An IC package resembling a transistor [14].

A technique where printed circuit boards are stacked and connected together
to form a module [7].

Circuit assemblies or subassemblies packaged to be easily removed for
maintenance or repair [14].

A complex wave consisting of a carrier and a modulating wave that is
transmitted through space [12].

An information wave representing intelligence [12].

The process of impressing intelligence upon a transmission medium, such as radio waves [12].

(M)—An indication of relative magnitudes of the RF carrier and the
modulating signal [12].

The ratio of frequency deviation to the frequency of the modulating signal [12].

(1) A device that produces modulation; that is, a device that varies the amplitude, frequency, or phase of an ac signal [11] [12]. (2) A circuit used in servosystems to convert a dc signal to an ac signal. The output ac signal is a sine wave at the frequency of the ac reference voltage. The amplitude of the output is directly related to the amplitude of the dc input. The circuit's function is opposite to that of a DEMODULATOR [15]. (3) In radar, it produces a high-voltage pulse that turns the transmitter on and off [18].
