Electronic engineering

Alloy deposition

Engineering; Electronic engineering

In semiconductor manufacture, depositing an alloy on a substrate.

Acoustic noise

Engineering; Electronic engineering

Interferential (usually disagreeable) sounds carried by the air (or other propagation medium) to the ear or to an acoustic transducer. This is in contrast to electrical noise, which consists of ...

Broadband interference

Engineering; Electronic engineering

Interference, other than noise, that is present over a wide band of frequencies. An example is over-the-horizon shortwave radar, recognisable by its characteristic "woodpecker" sound in ...

Ionisation resulting from an electron colliding with an ion. In a gas, for example, a neutral atom might collide with an electron, which can knock an electron out of the atom. The atom then becomes a ...

Cathode rays

Engineering; Electronic engineering

Invisible rays emanating from the cathode element of an evacuated tube operated with a high voltage between the anode and cathode. Cathode rays (electrons) cause certain substances, phosphors, to ...

Angular length

Engineering; Electronic engineering

Length, as along the horizontal axis of an ac wave or along the standing-wave pattern on an antenna, expressed as the product of radians and wavelength.

Dielectric tests

Engineering; Electronic engineering

Laboratory experiments performed to determine the dielectric characteristics of a substance—especially the dielectric constant and the dielectric breakdown voltage.
