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]. | ||
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]. | ||
