A protrusion inside a waveguide for the purpose of introducing capacitive reactance to cancel an inductive reactance.
carrier-frequency pulse
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A pulse that contains radio-frequency oscillation.
digit pulse
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A pulse that energizes magnetic core memory elements representing a digit position in several words.
blanking pulse
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A pulse that produces momentary blanking (See blank, 2).
