English

Subject field(s)
  • Amplifiers (Electronics)
DEF

An electronic amplifier designed to provide, within the limits of its normal operating characteristics, a single output pulse for each input pulse.

CONT

A pulse amplifier, or pulsed amplifier, is designed to amplify RF [radiofrequency] pulses generated by an electrical device without altering its waveform. Pulse amplifiers strengthen signals to high levels of power with their unique power output method, which alternates between intensely pulsating power and producing no output at all at a rapid rate.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Amplificateurs (Électronique)
DEF

Amplificateur électronique destiné à fournir dans les limites de ses caractéristiques normales de fonctionnement une seule impulsion de sortie pour chaque impulsion d'entrée.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Amplificadores (Electrónica)
DEF

Amplificador electrónico que dentro de los límites de sus características normales de funcionamiento, suministra un solo pulso de salida por cada pulso de entrada.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Advanced Technology Weapons
  • Radio Waves
  • Electronic Warfare
DEF

A type of DEW [directed-energy weapon] that uses RF [radio-frequency] energy to upset or damage the electronics of a target.

CONT

RF weapons are usually divided into two categories :high power microwave(HPM) weapons and ultrawideband(UWB)(or video pulse) weapons.

CONT

The primary distinction between RF weapons and more conventional EW systems is that RF weapons actually affect the electronics and not just the electronic environment, thereby causing temporary or permanent electronics failure that persists even after the RF beam has been turned off. RF weapons will mainly target receiver systems with in-band HPM [high-power microwave] radiation or computer systems with ultrawideband impulses.

CONT

In a radio-frequency weapon, electromagnetic radiation at wavelengths similar to that of radar is aimed at a target by means of an antenna. The principal effect would be to damage or destroy the electronic circuits of a missile.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
  • Measurements of Electricity
  • Audio Technology
CONT

Energy Density: one (1) mW.-hr/cm² (milliwatt hour per square centimeter) during any zero point one (0.1) hour period.

CONT

Power Instruments.... SC-30 [trademark] Series of Field Standards.... Ports for both high(10 microwatthours/pulse) and low(100 milliwatthours/pulse) outputs to easily interface with a variety of equipment.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Unités de mesure et métrologie
  • Mesures de grandeurs électriques
  • Électroacoustique
CONT

Les microbatteries lithium en quête de ruptures technologiques. [...] La quantité d'énergie embarquée sera de l'ordre du milliwatt.heure, et l'intensité délivrée sera de quelques centaines de micro-ampères/heure.

OBS

milliwatt : Domaines d'utilisation de [cette] unité [de mesure mécanique] : puissance des résistances et des composants d'équipements électroniques et d'équipements de mesures; puissance des lasers de surveillance; télécommunications.

OBS

milliwatt.heure : s'écrit précisément : milliwatt[point centré]heure.

Record 4 2000-04-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding - Various Processes
CONT

Precise YAG welding and optimum design for optics.

PHR

Long wave pulse YAG welding system; high power Nd YAG welding laser.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Procédés de soudage divers
CONT

On utilise actuellement deux grandes classes de machines selon l'application visée, qui dépendent du type de laser utilisé : les machines YAG et les machines CO2. Soudage YAG. [Les] lasers YAG [...] sont des lasers solides dont le milieu, de nature cristalline, est un grenat d'aluminium-yttrium [...] Le cristal, transparent, se présente sous la forme d'un barreau cylindrique. Cette configuration, imposée par son élaboration, gouverne toute la technologie du laser et ses performances, dont la puissance maximale (il existe aujourd'hui des cristaux YAG dits slab, ou plaques, plus performants thermiquement et plus puissants). Il impose une cavité stable mono- ou multimodule pour laquelle il n'y a pratiquement pas de variantes.
