Electronic engineering

coupling capacitor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A capacitor used to conduct ac energy from one circuit to another. Also see capacitive coupling.

Duddell arc

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A carbon copper arc circuit that produces audible continuous waves. Consists of a series inductance-capacitance (LC) circuit shunting an electric arc.

double-button microphone

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A carbon microphone having two buttons mounted on each side of the center of a stretched diaphragm, and connected in push-pull. Also see button microphone.

ceramic resistor

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A carborundum resistor whose value is voltage-dependent. It usually displays a negative temperature coefficient of resistance (but a positive coefficient is available) and a negative voltage ...

control card

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A card that provides control information for a computer.

coherent carrier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A carrier that agrees in frequency and phase with a reference signal.

complex plane

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A Cartesian coordinate system with real numbers on the horizontal axis and imaginary numbers on the vertical axis. Used for vectorial representation of complex numbers. See argand diagram.
