reflected impedance

Consumer electronics; Amplifier

The impedance seen "looking into" the primary of a transformer when it the secondary is loaded with a specific impedance. The impedance on the secondary side is transformed by ...

resistive load

Consumer electronics; Amplifier

A load that contains no inductance or capacitance, just pure resistance An example of a resistive load is a dummy test load consisting of a single resistance equal to the output ...

resistor

Consumer electronics; Amplifier

A circuit element that presents a resistance to the flow of electric current. A current flowing through a resistance will create a voltage drop across that resistance in ...

RMS (root mean square)

Consumer electronics; Amplifier

The true measure of an amp’s ability to perform, RMS is based on continuous power at a given number of cycles per second over a period of time not less than 30 seconds. See ...

schmitt phase inverter

Consumer electronics; Amplifier

A phase inverter configuration using two cathode-coupled tubes, with the first tube acting as a common cathode stage providing an out-of-phase signal at its plate, while the ...

screen grid

Consumer electronics; Amplifier

A second grid element interposed between the control grid and the plate, to act as an electrostatic shield between them. This shielding action greatly reduces the input ...

secondary emission

Consumer electronics; Amplifier

electrons in a vacuum tube may be moving at a sufficient speed to dislodge additional electrons when they strike the plate of the tube. These electrons emitted from the plate can ...
