AMPLITRONAMPLITRON—See CROSS-FIELD AMPLIFIER [18]. | ||
AMPLITUDEAMPLITUDE—The size of a signal as measured from a reference line to a maximum value above or below the line. Generally used to describe voltage, current, or power [8] [12]. | ||
AMPLITUDE MODULATIONAMPLITUDE MODULATION—Any method of varying the amplitude of an electromagnetic carrier frequency in accordance with the intelligence to be transmitted [12]. | ||
AMPLITUDE STABILITYAMPLITUDE STABILITY—Amplitude stability refers to the ability of the oscillator to maintain a constant amplitude in the output waveform [9]. | ||
AND CIRCUITAND CIRCUIT—See AND GATE [13]. | ||
AND GATEAND GATE—(1) An electronic gate whose output is energized only when every input is in its prescribed state. An AND gate performs the function of the logical "AND"; also called an AND circuit. (2) A binary circuit, with two or more inputs and a single output, in which the output is a logic 1 only when all inputs are a logic 1 and the output is a logic 0 when any one of the inputs is a logic 0 [13]. | ||
ANGLE MODULATIONModulation in which the angle of a sine-wave carrier is varied by a modulating wave [12]. | ||
ANGLE OF INCIDENCEThe angle between the incident wave and the normal [10]. | ||
ANGLE OF INCLINATIONThe angular difference between the equatorial plane of the earth and the plane of orbit of the satellite [17]. | ||
