Electronic engineering

compact disc (CD)

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A digital, high-density optical disc, used in high-fidelity stereo sound systems. Also used to store computer data. The information is encoded as tiny pits on the surface of the disc, and is ...

compensated diode detector

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A diode detector in which a positive dc voltage from the automatic-gain- control (AGC) rectifier is applied to the diode anode. The voltage is always proportional to the signal carrier. The ...

diode peak detector

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A diode detector whose load resistance is high at modulation frequencies; the voltage across the resistance is proportional to the peak amplitude of the modulated signal.

biased diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A diode having a dc voltage applied in either forward or reverse polarity. Current flows readily through the forward-biased diode; the reverse- biased diode appears as an open circuit. The biased ...

diode curve changer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A diode or network of diodes used to make a linear current-voltage curve acquire some nonlinear shape.

demodulator probe

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A diode probe that removes the modulation envelope from an applied amplitude- modulated signal, and presents the envelope to a voltmeter or oscilloscope.
