SYNCHRONOUSA type of teletypewriter operation where both transmitter and receiver operate continuously [17]. | ||
SYNCHRONOUS MOTORAn ac motor whose rotor is activated by dc. It is characterized by constant speed and requires squirrel-cage windings or some other method to be self-starting [5]. | ||
SYNCHRONOUS ORBITAn orbit in which the satellite moves or rotates at the same speed as the earth [17]. | ||
SYNCHRONOUS SPEEDThe speed at which the rotating field in an ac motor revolves. This speed is a function of the number of poles in the field and the frequency of the applied voltage [5]. | ||
SYNCHRONOUS TUNINGIn a klystron amplifier, a method of tuning that tunes all the resonant cavities to the same frequency. High gain is achieved, but the bandwidth is narrow [11]. | ||
SYSTEMA combination of sets, units, assemblies, subassemblies, and parts joined together to form a specific operational function or several functions [17]. | ||
