B
BINARY-CODEDThe state in which conditions are expressed by a series of binary digits (0's and 1's) [13]. |
BISTABLEA device that is capable of assuming either one of two stable states [13]. |
BISTABLE MULTIVIBRATORA multivibrator that has two stable states. It remains in one of the states until a trigger is applied. It then flips to the other stable state and remains there until another trigger is applied. Also referred to as a FLIP-FLOP [9] [13]. |
BLACKThe reference color of equipment that passes unclassified information. It normally refers to patch panels [17]. |
BLEEDER CURRENTThe current through a bleeder resistor. In a voltage divider, bleeder current is usually determined by the 10 percent rule of thumb [1]. |
BLEEDER RESISTORA resistor used to draw a fixed current [1]. |
BLIPSee PIP [18]. |
BLOCK DIAGRAMA diagram in which the major components of an equipment or a system are represented by squares, rectangles, or other geometric figures, and the normal order of progression of a signal or current flow is represented by lines [4]. |
BLOCKED-GRID KEYINGA method of keying in which the bias is varied to turn plate current on and off [12]. |
BLOCKINGA condition in an amplifier, caused by overdriving one or more stages, in which the amplifier is insensitive to small signals immediately after reception of a large signal [18]. |
