FACSIMILEThe method for transmitting and receiving still images. These images can be maps, photographs, and handwritten or printed text [17]. | |
FACTORAny of the elements, quantities, or symbols that, when multiplied together, form a product [13]. | |
FADINGVariations in signal strength by atmospheric conditions [101 [17]. | |
FARADThe basic unit of capacitance. A capacitor has a capacitance of 1 farad when a voltage potential of 1 volt across it produces a charge of 1 coulomb [2]. | |
FARADAY ROTATIONThe rotation of the plane of polarization of electromagnetic energy when it passes a substance influenced by a magnetic field that has a component in the direction of propagation [11]. | |
FAST-TIME-CONSTANT CIRCUITDifferentiator circuit in the first video amplifier that allows only the leading edges of target returns, no matter how small or large, to be used [18]. | |
FEEDBACKThe return of a portion of the output of a circuit to its input [8] [18]. | |
FEEDERA transmission line that carries energy to the antenna [10]. | |
FEEDHORNA horn radiator used to feed a reflector [18]. | |
FEPA synthetic type of insulation (fluorinated ethylene propylene) [4]. | |
