Electronic engineering

collector ring

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A rotating, brush-contacted ring electrode connected to one end of a coil in an ac generator. 2. A similar ring which, with a brush, serves as a connection to a rotating element, as in a ...

1. A scale in which the zero value indicates the lowest physically possible value that a parameter can attain. 2. A standard scale for measurement of a quantity. 3. A universally agreed-upon scale ...

calibrated scale

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A scale whose graduations have been carefully checked for accuracy (i.e., they correspond to the true values of the quantity that they represent). The scale is graduated to read directly in units ...

compensating filter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A selective filter used for the purpose of eliminating some irregularity in the frequency distribution of received energy. 2. A filter used to change the wavelength distribution of ...

automatic sensitivity control

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A self-actuating circuit using principles similar to those used in automatic gain control. It varies the sensitivity of the radio-frequency (RF) and intermediate- frequency (IF) sections of a ...

crystal amplifier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

1. A semiconductor diode circuit using carrier storage. Transistor action and, accordingly, pulse amplification is obtained by alternately making one electrode of the diode an emitter or collector. ...
