AmplifierAn electronic device that increases the power of a signal.
Amplitude ModulationOne of the principal methods of transmitting audio, visual, or other types of information using radio waves, the relevant signal being superimposed onto a radio-frequency carrier wave. The frequency of the carrier wave remains unchanged but its amplitude is varied in accordance with the(...)

AnalogContinuous signal for which the time varying feature (variable) of the signal is a representation of some other time varying quantity.
Anechoic ChamberA room designed to completely absorb reflections of either sound or electromagnetic waves; a chamber that is insulated from exterior sources of noise.
ANSI/ESD S1.1Establishes test methods for evaluating the electrical and mechanical characteristics of wrist straps. It includes improved test methods and performance limits for evaluation, acceptance, and functional testing of wrist straps.
ANSI/ESD S4.1Establishes test methods for measuring the electrical resistance of worksurface materials used at workstations for protection of ESD susceptible items. It includes methods for evaluating and selecting materials, and testing new worksurface installations and previously installed worksurfaces.
ANSI/ESD S5.2Establishes the procedure for testing, evaluating, and classifying the ESD sensitivity of components to the defined MM. This standard was revised and replaced by ANSI/ESD STM5.2-2012.
ANSI/ESD S5.3.1Establishes the procedure for testing, evaluating, and classifying the ESD sensitivity of components to the defined CDM.
ANSI/ESD S6.1Recommends the parameters, procedures, and types of materials needed to establish an ESD grounding system for the protection of electronic hardware from ESD damage. This system is used for personnel grounding devices, worksurfaces, chairs, carts, floors, and other related equipment.
ANSI/ESD S7.1Measurement of the electrical resistance of various floor materials such as floor coverings, mats, and floor finishes is covered in this document. It provides test methods for qualifying floor materials before installation or application and for evaluating and monitoring materials after(...)
ANSI/ESD S8.1Three types of ESD awareness symbols are established by this document. The first one is to be used on a device or assembly to indicate that it is susceptible to electrostatic charge. The second is to be used on items and materials intended to provide electrostatic protection. The third symbol(...)
