Electronic engineering

Coincidence amplifier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An amplifier that delivers an output signal only when two or more input signals occur simultaneously.

Decade amplifier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An amplifier or preamplifier whose gain can be adjusted in increments of 10 (1, 10, 100, etc.).

Bandpass amplifier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An amplifier that is tuned to pass only those frequencies between preset limits.

Carbon-button amplifier

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An audio-frequency amplifier having as the active component an earphone whose diaphragm is attached to a carbon microphone button. The input signal applied to the earphone makes its diaphragm ...

Amplified ALC (AALC)

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An automatic level- control (ALC) system that uses the amplification of the fed-back control signal. It is used in RF power amplifiers, particularly single-sideband (SSB) linear amplifiers, to ...

Delayed automatic gain control

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An automatic gain control circuit that operates only when the signal amplitude exceeds a predetermined threshold level, thus providing maximum amplification of weaker signals.

Conelrad

Engineering; Electronic engineering

An early amplitude-modulation (AM) broadcast protocol, intended for use in the event of a nuclear war. Now replaced by the emergency broadcast system.
