O
ORIGINThe point on a graph where the vertical and horizontal axes cross each other [10]. |
OSCILLATORAn oscillator is a nonrotating device that produces alternating current. The frequency is determined by the characteristics of the device [9]. |
OUT-OF-CIRCUIT METERA meter that is not permanently installed in a circuit. Usually portable and self-contained, these meters are used to check the operation of a circuit or to isolate troubles within a circuit [3]. |
OUTPUT ENDThe end of a transmission line that is opposite the source; receiving end [10]. |
OUTPUT IMPEDANCEThe impedance that is presented to the load by the transmission line and its source [10]. |
OVERDRIVENWhen the input signal amplitude is increased to the point that the transistor goes into saturation and cutoff [7]. |
OVERMODULATION A condition that exists when the peaks of the modulating signal are limited [12]. |
