Definition that contains oscillation
  • beat a single pulsation of an oscillation produced by adding two waves of different frequencies; has a frequency equal to the difference between the two oscillations
  • field the space around a radiating body within which its electromagnetic oscillations can exert force on another similar body not in contact with it
  • quench electronics: suppress (sparking) when the current is cut off in an inductive circuit, or suppress (an oscillation or discharge) in a component or device
  • ripple (electronics) an oscillation of small amplitude imposed on top of a steady value
  • muffler a device that decreases the amplitude of electronic, mechanical, acoustical, or aerodynamic oscillations
  • transient (physics) a short-lived oscillation in a system caused by a sudden change of voltage or current or load
  • damper a device that decreases the amplitude of electronic, mechanical, acoustical, or aerodynamic oscillations
  • dampen reduce the amplitude (of oscillations or waves)
  • resonator an electrical circuit that combines capacitance and inductance in such a way that a periodic electric oscillation will reach maximum amplitude
  • resonator a hollow chamber whose dimensions allow the resonant oscillation of electromagnetic or acoustic waves
