Electronic Engineering Terms & Definitions

  • Term
    Definition
  • Interference that appears on both signal leads (signal and circuit return), or the terminals of a measuring circuit, and ground.
  • Identical signal components on both the + and - inputs of a differential amplifier or instrumentation amplifier (i.e. balanced pair).
  • Radio frequency current that flows on one or more conductors connected to an electric circuit, or alternatively, radio frequency voltage between conductors connected to an electric circuit.
  • Ability of an electronic circuit, a piece of equipment, or a subsystem or system to operate acceptably when subjected to radio frequency voltage or current on interconnecting conductors.
  • Electrical intermodulation in which there are produced frequencies equal to the sums and differences of a desired and an undesired frequency or of their harmonics.
  • Unwanted signals in a communication channel (as in a telephone, radio, or computer) caused by transference of energy from another circuit (as by leakage or coupling).
  • An electrical device that can measure amperage without breaking a circuit. Current probes sense the current flowing through a conductor and convert it to a voltage that can be viewed and measured on an oscilloscope.
