S
SHUNT VOLTAGE REGULATORA regulator whose regulating device is in parallel with the load resistance [7]. |
SHUNT-DIODE DETECTORA diode detector in which the diode is in parallel with the input voltage and the load impedance. Also known as a current detector because it operates with smaller input levels [12]. |
SHUNT-WOUND MOTORS AND GENERATORSMachines in which the armature and field windings are connected in parallel (shunt) with each other [5]. |
SIGNALA general term used to describe any ac or dc of interest in a circuit; for example, input signal [8] [15]. |
SIGNAL DISTORTIONAny unwanted change to the signal [12]. |
SIGNIFICANT SIDEBANDSThose sidebands with significantly large amplitude [12]. |
SILICONA metallic element which, in its pure state, is used as a semiconductor [7]. |
SILICON-CONTROLLED RECTIFIERA semiconductor device that functions as an electrically controlled switch [7]. |
SINE WAVE(1) The curve traced by the projection on a uniform time scale of the end of a rotating arm, or vector. Also known as a sinusoidal wave [2]. (2) The basic synchronous alternating waveform for all complex waveforms [12]. |
SINGLE LINE DIAGRAMA diagram which shows, by means of single lines and graphic symbols, the course of an electric circuit or system of circuits and the component devices or parts used therein [4]. |
