Contributors in Electronic engineering

Electronic engineering

Darlington amplifier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A high-gain amplifier that uses a compound connection of two bipolar transistors.

cascode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A high-gain, low-noise, high-input-impedance amplifier circuit, consisting of a grounded-emitter or grounded-source input stage coupled directly to a grounded-base or grounded-gate output stage.

calibrator crystal

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A highly accurate and stable quartz crystal, used in an oscillator as a frequency standard. An example is the 100-kHz crystal oscillator and harmonic generator used in some communications receivers.

crystal resonator

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A highly selective resonant circuit in which the center frequency is the resonant frequency of a piezoelectric quartz-crystal plate.

antenna preamplifier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A highly sensitive amplifier used to enhance the gain of a receiver. It is usually used at the very high frequencies and above.

coupling aperture

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A hole in a waveguide that is used to transmit energy to the waveguide, or receiving energy from outside the waveguide.

conduit

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A hollow tube, made of plastic or metal, through which wires, cables, and other transmission media are fed.
