AUTOMATIC VOLUME/GAIN CONTROLA circuit used to limit variations in the output signal strength of a receiver [17]. | |
AVALANCHE EFFECTA reverse breakdown effect in diodes that occurs at reverse voltages beyond 5 volts. The released electrons are accelerated by the electric field, which results in a release of more electrons in a chain or "avalanche" effect [7]. | |
AVERAGE POWER(1) The peak power value averaged over the pulse-repetition time [12]. (2) Output power of a transmitter as measured from the start of one pulse to the start of the next pulse [18]. | |
AVERAGE VALUEThe average of all the instantaneous values of one-half cycle of alternating current [2]. | |
AWGThe standards adopted in the United States for the measurement of wire sizes [4]. | |
AXISA straight line, either real or imaginary, passing through a body around which the body revolves [15]. | |
