What is Electronic: Definition and 441 Discussions

Electronic warfare (EW) is any action involving the use of the electromagnetic spectrum (EM spectrum) or directed energy to control the spectrum, attack an enemy, or impede enemy assaults. The purpose of electronic warfare is to deny the opponent the advantage of, and ensure friendly unimpeded access to, the EM spectrum. EW can be applied from air, sea, land, and/or space by manned and unmanned systems, and can target communication, radar, or other assets (military and civilian).

    Object detector using ultrasonic sensor with 555 timer

    See the attached figure. I used 220uF with buzzer and also tried 10uF capacitor but buzzer isn't loud enough. I don't have any 3.3pf capacitor. I used 1.1 pF instead. I also tried changing the resistance of potentiometer but still buzzer isn't sound loud enough.

    Is an electronic vacuum necessary for creating a vacuum in a vacuum container?

    Hi I purchased a vacuum container on amazon, the type with the glass and rubber lid. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money to buy an electronic air vacuum so I just bought a hand pump instead. Only problem is the hand pump doesn't seem to create a vacuum, even though I verified the hand pump...

    General electronic configuration of the d and f block elements
