PLATE DISSIPATIONThe amount of power lost as heat in the plate of a vacuum tube [6]. | ||
PLATE KEYINGA keying system in which the plate supply is interrupted [12]. | ||
PLATE MODULATORAn electron-tube modulator in which the modulating voltage is applied to the plate circuit of the tube [12]. | ||
PLATE RESISTANCEThe plate voltage change divided by the resultant plate current change in a vacuum tube, all other conditions being fixed [6]. | ||
POINT BENDERA tool used to adjust the contact spacing on a relay [3]. | ||
POINT OF ZERO DISPLACEMENTSee REFERENCE LINE [10]. | ||
POINT-CONTACT DIODEA diode in which the end of a fine wire is pressed against a semiconductor. Used as a detector or mixer over the microwave region [7]. | ||
POINT-TO-POINT WIRINGIndividual wires run from terminal to terminal to complete a circuit [14]. | ||
POLARThe teletypewriter operation in which current flow of one polarity represents a mark, and current of the opposite polarity represents a space [17]. | ||
POLAR ORBITAn orbit that has an angle of inclination of or near 90 degrees [17]. | ||
