Electrical Definitions

Dielectric Fatigue : Resistance to breakdown decreases after prolonged application of high voltage stress across the dielectric.

Dielectric Heating : The heating of an insulating material by an ac field. The principle is used in Microwave Ovens.

Dielectric Isolation : A method of isolating individual regions in an integrated circuit,particularly a bipolar integrated circuit,by surrounding the region with insulating material rather than with isolating diffusions.

Digital Electronics : A field of electronics wherein devices operate on the basis of discrete numerical techniques in which the variables are reprsented by coded pulses or state.

Digital Computer : An electronic calculating and data processing machine which works with instructions and data coded in simple binary digit form.

Digital Paper : Digital Paper is a flexible optical recording medium from a sandwich of thin polymer films.It is similar material used in computer tapes but data is written by a laser.

Digital to Analog Converter : A device that converts a binary input to an analogue output.

Digitron : Type of cold cathode scaling tube that has several cathodes shaped into the form of characters.

Diode : Any electronic device that has only two electrodes.

Diplexer : A device which enables a transmitter and a receive to be used with same antenna.

Directional Coupler: A transmission coupling device for sampling for measurement or exciting an incident or reflected wave in a waveguide or any transmission line such as microstrip,coaxial cable etc.

Directional Radio-communication: Radio communication,in which the waves are defined as nearly as possible to the direction between the transmitting and receiving stations.

Dissipation Factor: The relation between conductivity and permittivity of a dielectric at a given frequency.It is also called Q factor.
