Electronic engineering
Direction finding
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The taking of bearings by means of a direction finder.
Ac line voltage
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The voltage commonly delivered by the commercial power line to consumers. In the United States, the two standards are 117 V and 234 V (about 5 percent). The lower voltage is used by most appliances; ...
Deformation potential
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The voltage generated when a crystal lattice is subjected to pressure. An example is the voltage produced by a crystal microphone when acoustic waves strike the crystal.
Dielectric breakdown voltage
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The voltage at which dielectric breakdown occurs in an insulating material. Varies, depending on the particular dielectric substance.
Applied voltage
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The voltage presented to a circuit point or system input, as opposed to the voltage drop resulting from current flow through an element.
Carrier voltage
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The voltage component of a carrier wave; also, the amplitude of this component. Compare carrier current and carrier power.
Compliance range
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The voltage range required to maintain a constant current throughout a loadresistance range.
