NEPRA---- ( New England Packet Radio Association. )

Necessary Bandwidth---- ( The width of the transmitted frequency band which is just sufficient to ensure the transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions. )

Net---- ( An on-the-air meeting of Amateur Radio operators at a particular time, day and radio frequency. )

Network---- ( A term used to describe several packet stations linked together to transmit data over long distances. )

New Zealand BAND----( New Zealand has it's own 40 channels, not on 27MHz at all. (26.330 - 26.770) As far as I know it's AM/FM/SSB operation . )

nF---- ( Nanofarad. )

nH---- ( Nanohenry. )

NMOS---- ( N-channel metal-oxide silcon. )

NO---- ( Normally open. )

Nodal period---- ( The amount of time between two successive ascending nodes of satellite orbit. )

Node---- ( A junction point in a packet network where data is relayed to other destinations. A node can support more than one user at a time and operate on several different frequencies simultaneously; A point within a network, usually where two or more links come together, performing switching, routine and concentrating functions. )

Noise---- ( Any unwanted signal; any signal that interferes with the desired signal in electrinic communications or systems. )

Noise Blanker---- ( Circuit to reduce receiver noise. )

Noise Bridge---- ( A test instrument used to determine the impedance of an antenna system. )

Noise Figure (NF)---- ( A measure of the noise added to a signal by an analog processing stage. )

Noise level---- ( Level at which no voice is heard, only static. )

Noise Limiter---- ( Another noise reduction circuit. This reduces impluse type noise. )

Nonionizing Radiation---- ( Electromagnetic radiation that does not have sufficient energy to knock electrons free from their atoms. Radio frequency (RF) radiation is nonionizing. )

Nonlinear---- ( Having an output that is not in linear proportion to the input. )

Notch filter---- ( A filter that rejects or suppresses a narrow band of frequencies within a wide band of frequencies. )

Novice License---- ( One of the two entry-level Amateur Radio licenses. Allows the licensee to use Morse code on four HF (long-distance) bands, code and voice on one HF band, plus all authorized modes on a VHF and a UHF band. )

NPN---- ( Negative-positive-negative (transistor). )

NPN Transistor---- ( A transistor that has a layer of P-type semiconductor material sandwiched between layers of N-type semiconductor material. )

NPRM---- ( Notice of Proposed Rule Making (FCC). )

NR---- ( Noise Reduction--DSP feature that reduces unwanted signal noise; Novice Roundup (contest). )

nor---- ( A digital element that performs the "not-or" function. )

ns--- ( Nanosecond. )

NRZI---- ( Nonreturn to zero. A binary baseband code in which output transitions result from data Os but not from 1s. Formal designation is NRZ-s (non-return-to-zero---space). )
