Contributors in Electronic engineering

Electronic engineering

Anderson bridge

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An ac bridge circuit with six impedances, permitting the value of an unknown inductance to be determined in terms of a standard capacitance.

Carey-Foster mutual inductance bridge

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An ac bridge that permits the measurement of mutual inductance in terms of a standard capacitor.

audio-level meter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An ac meter for monitoring signal amplitude in an audio-frequency system. It can indicate in volts, decibels, volume units (VU), or arbitrary units, and is often permanently connected in the circuit.

capacitor motor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An ac motor that uses a capacitor in series with an auxiliary field winding for starting purposes. Initially out-of-phase current in the auxiliary field (starting winding) causes a rotating field ...

asychronous motor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An ac motor whose speed is not proportional to the supply frequency.

chopped signal

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An ac or dc signal that is periodically interrupted, as by means of a chopper.

bevatron

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An accelerator (See accelerator, 1) similar to the synchrotron, which accelerates particles to levels greater than 10 GeV.
