Electronic engineering
dc restorer
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A circuit that reinserts the average dc component of a signal after the component has been lost because the signal passed through a capacitor or transformer.
automatic brightness control
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A circuit that uses the same principles used in automatic gain control (AGC) to hold steady the average brightness of a television (TV) picture.
antenna detector
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A circuit that warns aircraft personnel that they are being observed by radar. It picks up the radar pulses and actuates a warning light or other device.
converter stage
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A circuit used principally to mix two signals (such as a received signal and local-oscillator signal in a superheterodyne receiver), and deliver the resultant signal.
double circuit tuning
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A circuit whose output and input are tuned separately. Such tuning provides increased selectivity when the input and output are resonant at the same frequency, and decreased selectivity when they are ...
clipper
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A circuit whose output voltage is fixed at a value for all input voltages higher than a predetermined value. Clippers can flat-top the positive, negative, or both positive and negative peaks of an ...
C network
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A circuit with three impedances connected in series, the free leads being connected to a pair of terminals and the two internal junctions, to another pair of terminals.
