G
GATINGThe process of selecting those portions of a wave that exist during one or more selected time intervals or that have magnitudes between selected limits. Also, the application of a specific waveform to perform electronic switching [13]. |
GENERAL PURPOSE ELECTRONIC TEST EQUIPMENTTest equipment that has the capability, without modification, to generate, modify, or measure a range of electronic functions required to test several equipments or systems of basically different designs [14] [16]. |
GENERATORA machine that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy by applying the principle of magnetic induction. A machine that produces ac or dc voltage, depending on the original design [5]. |
GENERATOR ENDSee INPUT END [10]. |
GERMANIUMA grayish-white metal having semiconductor properties [7]. |
GETTERAn alkali metal introduced into a vacuum tube during manufacture. It is fired after the tube has been evacuated to react chemically with (and eliminate) any remaining gases [6]. |
GIMBALA mechanical frame, with two perpendicular intersecting axes of rotation, used to support and furnish a gyro wheel with the necessary freedom to tilt in any direction [15]. |
GLOW DISCHARGEDischarge of electricity through a gas in an electron tube [18]. |
GRAMME-RING ARMATUREAn inefficient type of armature winding in which many of the turns are shielded from the field by its own iron ring [5]. |
GRAPHA pictorial presentation of the relation between two or more variable quantities, such as between an applied voltage and the current it produces in a circuit [1]. |
