M
Term	Explanation
Magnetic Field	The region within which a body or current experiences
	magnetic forces.
Magnetic Flux	The rate of flow of magnetic energy across or through a surface.
Magnetic noise	Caused by change in current level, e.g. AC powerline (creates
	magnetic field agound that cable) this magnetic field causes the
	magnetic noise.
Metric System	See page L-07-01 The metric system is standard in the world,
	exept Brunei, Liberia, Myanmar, Yemen and  the USA.
MHz	Megahertz (one million cycles per second).
Mis-Match	A termination having a different impedance than that for which a
	circuit or cable is designed.
Modulation	The coding of information onto the currier frequency. Modulation
	means include (among others) amplitude, frequency, or phase
	pulse many forms of  on-off digital coding.
Monomer	The basic chemical unit used in building a polymer.
Multiplexing	Simultaneous transmission of two or more messages over
	the same cable medium.
Mutual Capacitance	Capacitance between two conductors when all other conductors
	are connected together.
