ARMATURE LOSSESCopper losses, eddy current losses, and hysteresis losses that act to decrease the efficiency of armatures [5]. | |
ARMATURE REACTIONThe effect in a dc generator of current in the armature creating a magnetic field that distorts the main field and causes a shift in the neutral plane [5]. | |
ARRAY OF ARRAYSARRAY OF ARRAYS—Same as COMBINATION ARRAY [10]. | |
ARTIFICIAL TRANSMISSION LINEAn LC network that is designed to simulate characteristics of a transmission line [18]. | |
ASBESTOSA noncombustible, nonconductive, fiber-like mineral used as an insulating material [4]. | |
ASBESTOSISFibrosis of the lungs caused by inhalation of asbestos fibers [4]. | |
ASSEMBLYA number of parts or subassemblies, or any combination thereof, joined together to perform a specific function [17]. | |
ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATORA multivibrator that has no stable state. Also called free-running because it alternates between two different output voltage levels during the time it is on. The frequency is determined by the RC time constant of the coupling circuit [9]. | |
ASWTDSAn abbreviation for the antisubmarine warfare tactical data system [17]. | |
ASYMMETRICAL MULTIVIBRATORA multivibrator that generates rectangular waves [18]. | |
