McGraw-Hill electronics dictionary

About this book

First published more than half a century ago, the McGraw-Hill Electronics Dictionary has long held a position as the world's standard authority on the language of electronics. This completely updated and revised Sixth Edition enhances the established position of the dictionary. During the four years since the Fifth Edition was published, many new terms have entered the language of electronics. The authenticity of each definition has been checked against present usage in the leading professional engineering books and magazines. All entries - words, phrases, acronyms, and abbreviations - are in consistent, easy-to-read alphabetical order. Enhanced cross-referencing and the highlighting of related terms simplifies the search for additional information and any commonly accepted synonyms for the desired term. As another reader benefit, all scientific and technical measurements are in standard international (SI) units. More than 800 new terms and 220 new illustrations have been added to this edition, which contains more than 14,000 entries.
