STABILITYIn a magnetron, the ability to maintain normal operating characteristics [18]. | ||
STAGEOne of a series of circuits within a single device; for example, first stage of amplification [8]. | ||
STAGGER TUNINGA method of klystron tuning in which the resonant cavities are tuned to slightly different frequencies to increase the bandwidth of the amplifier [11]. | ||
STANDING WAVEThe distribution of voltage and current, formed by the incident and reflected waves, that has minimum and maximum points on a resultant wave that appear to stand still [10]. | ||
STARTThe first unit of a teletypewriter signal. It is always a space [17]. | ||
STATIC(1) A fixed nonvarying condition, without motion [13]. (2) Atmospheric noise, as in a receiver. | ||
