AM tuner

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A compact radio receiver unit that handles amplitude-modulated signals and delivers low-amplitude audio output to a high-fidelity amplifier. Compare AM/FM tuner and fm tuner.

digital comparator

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A comparator that presents two digital values, one for each of the quantities being compared.

clock module

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A complete plug-in or wire-in digital unit whose readout indicates time of day or elapsed time. Connected to a suitable power supply, it serves as either a clock or timer.

bilateral element

Engineering; Electronic engineering
