Electronic engineering

Directional response

Engineering; Electronic engineering

For any form of transducer, a radiation or sensitivity pattern that is concentrated in certain directions.

Deactuating pressure

Engineering; Electronic engineering

For an electrical contact, the pressure at which contact is made or broken as the pressure reaches the level of activation.

Albedo

Engineering; Electronic engineering

For an unpolished surface, the ratio of reflected light to incident light. It can vary from 0.0 to 1.0, or from 0 to 100 percent.

Angular phase difference

Engineering; Electronic engineering

For two sinusoidal waves, the phase difference, expressed in degrees or radians.

Drift mobility

Engineering; Electronic engineering

For current carriers in a semiconductor, the average drift velocity per unit electric field.

Dc component

Engineering; Electronic engineering

In a complex wave (i.e., one containing both ac and dc), the current component having an unchanging polarity. The dc component constitutes the mean (average) value around which the ac component ...

In a communications receiver, a highly selective philtre in the intermediate-frequency (IF) or audio-frequency (AF) stage. The bandwidth is typically 200 Hz to 500 Hz; some audio philtres can be set ...
