Electronics (Mike Jaroch)

The power dissipated in the resistance of the circuit, or the power actually used in the circuit [2].

A paraboloid reflector that has been cut away at the top and bottom to
increase beam width in the vertical plane [18].

A table that describes a logic function by listing all possible combinations of input values and indicating, for each combination, the true output values [13].

Refers to the testing condition in which a vacuum tube is actually performing its function [16].

Refers to the testing condition in which a tube has certain voltages applied
but is not in its normal operating condition [16].

(1) A circuit consisting of inductance and capacitance that can be adjusted for
resonance at a desired frequency [9]. (2) A circuit that is used as a filter which passes or rejects specific frequecies [16]. (3) An LC circuit used as a frequency-determining device [8].

Another name for the resonant line. This line uses tuning devices to eliminate the reactance and transfer maximum power from the source to the line [10].

A heavily doped semiconductor device that has high gain and fast switching
capabilities [7]. See NEGATIVE-RESISTANCE ELEMENT [11].

The piercing of a potential barrier in a semiconductor by a particle (current carrier) that does not have sufficient energy to go over the barrier [11].

One complete loop of a conductor about a core [2].
