Electronic Engineering Terms & Definitions
- UPSAn electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source, typically mains power, fails.
- Voltage Standing Wave RatioThe ratio of the source output impedance (amplifier output) to the load impedance at a given frequency.
- VSWRThe ratio of the source output impedance (amplifier output) to the load impedance at a given frequency.
- WattDerived unit of power. defined as one joule per second, measures the rate of energy conversion or transfer.
- WidebandWhen the bandwidth significantly exceeds the coherence bandwidth of the channel.
- WirelessTransfer of information between two or more points that are not connected by an electrical conductor.
- X BandA segment of the electromagnetic spectrum ranging from 8.0 – 12.0 GHz.
