unidirectional

The condition where information flow is provided only in one direction. [T1.615-1992]

unidirectional operation

Operation in which data are transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver in only one direction.

unidirectional path

uniform encoding

An analog-to-digital conversion process in which, except for the highest and lowest quantization steps, all of the quantization subrange values are equal. Synonym uniform quantizing.

uniform linear array

An antenna composed of a relatively large number of usually identical elements arranged in a single line or in a plane with uniform spacing and usually with a uniform feed system.

uniform transmission line

A transmission line that has distributed electrical properties, i.e., resistance, inductance, and capacitance per unit length, that are constant along the line, and in which the voltage-to-current ratio does not vary with distance along the line, if the line is terminated in its characteristic impedance.
Note 1: Examples of uniform transmission lines are coaxial cables, twisted pairs, and single wires… (Read More →)
