Features: This book provides practical explanations of terms used in the field of electronics. Electronic technology, which is primarily used in information and communication, is applied in various fields, from household and office electronic devices to transportation systems, medical technology, and space development, and continues to develop new technologies. For technicians working in various fields, it is essential to correctly understand the meaning of electronic terms. The purpose of editing and publishing this book is precisely this. Since its first publication in 1969, the book has been well-received by all sectors. With the advancement of science and technology, it has been revised and reprinted multiple times. Over the past 30 years, it has been praised by readers from all walks of life. It has been revised and reprinted multiple times because the book extensively includes terms related to electronics, from basic to cutting-edge technologies, explained in an easily understandable form, and includes essential numerical values and basic formulas, meaning it covers the fundamental terms of electronics. The "New Edition" revised in 1991 has been 10 years since then. To adapt to the current situation, this reprinted edition has significantly removed outdated terms and carefully selected terms expected to be useful for future cutting-edge technologies. Regarding computer terms, emphasis is placed on basic terms related to hardware. This book includes over 4,900 entries covering fields such as electromagnetism, material properties, and other fundamental aspects of electronics, circuit technology, electrical and electronic materials, semiconductor devices, communication technology, audio/video technology, measurement instruments, and control technology. For students of universities and colleges, as well as science and technology personnel, this is a highly useful and comprehensive reference book.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the contributors who worked diligently and meticulously. Especially since the edition, Mr. Iwakawa Tomonao served as the chief editor, dedicating himself to determining the editorial direction of this book, completing the manuscript, and adjusting it from the selection of entries to the proofreading. However, he passed away unexpectedly before the book was completed. We deeply mourn his loss and extend our heartfelt thanks.
This book is an electronic engineering dictionary, with entries arranged in the order of Japanese, English, and Chinese.
