  2. Attenuator (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuator_(electronics)

    For instance, attenuators used with coaxial lines would be the unbalanced form while attenuators for use with twisted pair are required to be the balanced form. Four fundamental attenuator circuit diagrams are given in the figures on the left. Since an attenuator circuit consists solely of passive resistor elements, it is both linear and ...

  3. Armstrong phase modulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_phase_modulator

    It is possible to generate an AM signal by taking the output from the balanced modulator and reinserting the carrier. [3] In the Armstrong method, the audio signal and the radio frequency carrier signal are applied to the balanced modulator to generate a double sideband suppressed carrier signal. The phase of this output signal is then shifted ...

  4. Frequency mixer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_mixer

    The mixer circuit can be used not only to shift the frequency of an input signal as in a receiver, but also as a product detector, modulator, phase detector or frequency multiplier. [6] For example, a communications receiver might contain two mixer stages for conversion of the input signal to an intermediate frequency and another mixer employed ...

  5. Balun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balun

    If a coil is made using coaxial cable near to the feed point of a balanced antenna, then the RF current that flows on the outer surface of the coaxial cable can be attenuated. One way of doing this would be to pass the cable through a ferrite toroid. The end result is exactly the same as a 1:1 current balun (or Guanella-type balun).

  6. Gilbert cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_cell

    As a mixer, its balanced operation cancels out many unwanted mixing products, resulting in a "cleaner" output. It is a generalized case of an early circuit first used by Howard Jones in 1963, [ 2 ] invented independently and greatly augmented by Barrie Gilbert in 1967. [ 3 ]

  7. Three-prong adaptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-prong_adaptor

    The flat parallel plug blades are polarized to prevent the hot and the neutral connections from being reversed. In addition, many versions have a molded obstruction bump on top of the adapter, to block the grounding prong and thus physically prevent forcible insertion of a 3-prong plug in the wrong orientation. [citation needed]

  8. Balanced circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_circuit

    Unbalanced, symmetrical circuit. Fig. 3. Balanced, asymmetrical circuit. Fig. 4. Balanced, symmetrical circuit. A balanced circuit will normally show a symmetry of its components about a horizontal line midway between the two conductors (example in figure 3). This is different from what is normally meant by a symmetrical circuit, which is a ...

  9. Phase converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_converter

    An American Rotary Phase Converter with a Transformer. A phase converter is a device that converts electric power provided as single phase to multiple phase or vice versa. The majority of phase converters are used to produce three-phase electric power from a single-phase source, thus allowing the operation of three-phase equipment at a site that only has single-phase electrical service.
