Electronic engineering
Carrier oscillator
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In a single-sideband receiver, the radio-frequency (RF) oscillator that supplies the missing carrier wave.
Drop indicator
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In a signalling system, such as an annunciator, a hinged flap that drops into view when the signalling device is actuated.
Driving spring
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In a stepping relay, the spring that moves the wiper blades.
Analogue channel
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In an analogue computer, an information channel in which the extreme limits of data magnitude are fixed, and the data can have any value between the limits.
Capacitive loading
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In an antenna, the addition of capacitance in series with the element(s). This raises the resonant frequency for a radiator having a given physical length. It can also serve to increase the physical ...
Capacity lag
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In an automatic control system, a delay caused by the storing of energy by the components. For example, in a heating system, capacity lag results from the time taken to heat the air or fluid after ...
Buckshot
Engineering; Electronic engineering
In an amplitude-modulated (AM) or single- sideband (SSB) radio transmission, broadband signal splatter caused by excessive modulation, or detuned multiplier circuits.
