CONTROL TRANSFORMER (CT)A type of synchro that compares two signals: the electrical signal applied to its stator and the mechanical signal applied to its rotor. The output is an electrical voltage, which is taken from the rotor winding and is used to control a power-amplifying device. The phase and amplitude of the output voltage depends on the angular position of the rotor with respect to the magnetic field of the stator [15]. |
CONTROL TRANSMITTER (CX)A type of synchro that converts a mechanical input, which is the angular position of its rotor, into an electrical output signal. The output is taken from the stator windings and is used to drive either a CDX or CT [15]. |
CONTROL-GRID MODULATORUses a variation of grid bias to vary the instantaneous plate voltage and current. The modulating signal is applied to the control grid [12]. |
CONVERTERIn communications, equipment that changes the audio output of a receiver to dc pulses. These pulses are fed to a tty to indicate marks and spaces [17]. |
COOKIE-CUTTER TUNERA mechanical magnetron tuning device that changes the frequency by changing the capacitance of the anode cavities [11]. |
COPPER LOSS (I2R LOSS)The power lost because of the resistance of the conductors. In transformers the power lost because of current flow (I) through the resistance (R) of the windings [2] [10] [11]. |
CORDWOOD MODULEA method of increasing the number of discrete components in a given space. Resembles wood stacked for a fireplace [14]. |
COREAny material that affords a path for magnetic flux lines in a coil [2]. |
CORNER-REFLECTOR ANTENNAA half-wave antenna with a reflector consisting of two flat metal surfaces meeting at an angle behind the radiator [10] [18]. |
CORONAThe discharge of electricity from a conductor with a high potential [4]. |
