Electronic engineering
Deductive logic
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A form of symbolic logic used to demonstrate that a certain conclusion will always follow, given a certain set of circumstances. The logic of digital circuits is deductive. Compare inductive logic.
Chirp modulation
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A form of modulation in which the frequency of a signal is deliberately changed in a systematic way. Used in some radar systems.
Corona failure
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A form of high-voltage failure, resulting from the erosion of an object (such as an electrical insulator) by corona.
Aliasing noise
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A form of signal distortion caused by a signal with an excessive bandwidth.
Cavity laser
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A laser that employs a resonant cavity filled with gas, such as helium/neon or argon, and a pair of reflectors. Resonance occurs between the reflectors, one of which is totally reflective and the ...
Bar-code reader
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A laser scanning device that recovers the data from a tag that contains a bar code. The laser beam moves across the tag. The beam is reflected from the white regions between the lines, but is ...
Artificial language
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A language that is not commonly used, but has been devised for efficiency in a particular situation—especially in a computer system.
