M

MODULATOR SWITCHING DEVICE

Controls the on (discharge) and off (charge) time of the modulator [18].

MODULE

A circuit or portion of a circuit packaged as a removable unit. A separable unit in a packaging scheme displaying regularity of dimensions [14].

MOISTURE LAPSE

Abnormal variation of moisture content at different altitudes because of high
moisture located just above large bodies of water [18].

MONOLITHIC CIRCUIT

A circuit where all elements (resistors, transistors, and so forth) associated
with the circuit are fabricated inseparably within a continuous piece of material (called the substrate), usually silicon [7].

MONOLITHIC IC

ICs that are formed completely within a semiconductor substrate. Silicon chips [14].

MONOPULSE (SIMULTANEOUS) LOBING

A radar receiving method using two or more (usually four) partially overlapping lobes. Sum and difference locate the target with aspect to the axis of the
antenna [18].

MONOPULSE RADAR

A radar that gets the range, bearing, and elevation position data of a target from a single pulse [18].

MONOPULSE RECEIVER

See MONOPULSE RADAR [18].

MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR

A multivibrator that has one steady state. A signal (trigger) must be applied to cause change of states [9].

MOSFET

METAL-OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR FIELD-EFFECT TRANSISTO. A semiconductor device that contains diffused source and drain regions on either side of a P- or
N-channel area. Also contains a gate insulated from the channel area by silicon-oxide. Operates in either the depletion or the enhancement mode [7].
