noungenerator that produces sonic oscillations or alternating currenttype of:
Definition that contains oscillator
- tesla United States electrical engineer and inventor (born in Croatia but of Serbian descent) who discovered the principles of alternating currents and developed the first alternating-current induction motor and the Tesla coil and several forms of oscillators (1856-1943)
- local oscillator an oscillator whose output heterodynes with the incoming radio signal to produce sum and difference tones
- tank circuit an oscillatory circuit
- nikola tesla United States electrical engineer and inventor (born in Croatia but of Serbian descent) who discovered the principles of alternating currents and developed the first alternating-current induction motor and the Tesla coil and several forms of oscillators (1856-1943)
- crystal oscillator an oscillator that produces electrical oscillations at a frequency determined by the physical characteristics of a piezoelectric quartz crystal
- quartz crystal a thin plate or small rod of quartz cut along certain lines and ground so that it can produce an electric signal at a constant frequency; used in crystal oscillators
- heterodyne oscillator an oscillator whose output heterodynes with the incoming radio signal to produce sum and difference tones
- quartz oscillator an oscillator that produces electrical oscillations at a frequency determined by the physical characteristics of a piezoelectric quartz crystal
- magnetron a diode vacuum tube in which the flow of electrons from a central cathode to a cylindrical anode is controlled by crossed magnetic and electric fields; used mainly in microwave oscillators
