ANGLE OF REFLECTIONThe angle between the reflected wave and the normal [10]. | |
ANGLE OF REFRACTIONThe angle between the normal and the path of a wave through the second medium [10]. | |
ANGSTROM UNITThe unit used to define the wavelength of light waves [10]. | |
ANISOTROPICThe property of a radiator that allows it to emit strong radiation in one direction [10]. | |
ANODE(1) A positive electrode of an electrochemical device (such as a primary or secondary electric cell) toward which the negative ions are drawn [1] [6) [7]. (2) The semiconductor-diode terminal that is positive with respect to the other terminal when the diode is biased in the forward direction [13]. | |
ANTENNAA conductor or set of conductors used to radiate RF energy into space or to collect RF energy from space or to do both [10]. | |
ANTENNA BEAM WIDTHWidth of a radar beam measured between half-power points [18]. | |
ANTENNA COUPLERA device used for impedance matching between an antenna and a transmitter or receiver [17]. | |
ANTENNA SYSTEMRoutes RF energy from the transmitter, radiates the energy into space, receives echoes, and routes the echoes to the receiver [18]. | |
ANTIJAMMING CIRCUITAn electronic circuit used to minimize the effects of enemy countermeasures, thereby permitting radar echoes to be visible on the indicator [18]. | |
