Electronic engineering

beam-rider control system

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A missile-guidance system in which a control station sends a radio beam to a missile. The beam is moved in such a way that as the missile stays within the beam, it hits the target.

crystal mixer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A mixer (converter) circuit utilizing the nonlinearity of a semiconductor diode to mix signals.

double local oscillator

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A mixer system in which a local oscillator generates two accurate radiofrequency (RF) signals separated by a few hundred hertz. The difference frequency is used as a reference in some applications.

Dolby B

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A modified form of Dolby A, with only one band of noise-reducing circuitry. It is used primarily by hobbyists.

color subcarrier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A modulated monochrome signal whose sidebands convey color information.

crosshatch generator

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A modulated radiofrequency (RF) signal generator that produces a crosshatch pattern on a picture-tube screen.

double-sideband transmitter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A modulated transmitter using a double-sideband system.
