CHOKE JOINTA joint between two sections of waveguide that provides a good electrical connection without power losses or reflections [11]. | ||
CIRCUITThe complete path of an electric current [1]. | ||
CIRCULAR MILAn area equal to that of a circle with a diameter of 0.001 inch. It is used for measuring the cross-sectional area of wires [1]. | ||
CIRCULAR MIL-FOOT A unit of volume of a conductor having a cross-sectional area of 1 circular mil and a length of 1 foot [4]. | ||
CLAMPERA circuit in which either the upper or lower extremity of a waveform is fixed at a desired value [9]. | ||
CLASS A AMPLIFIER OPERATIONThe type of operation in which the amplifier is biased so that variations in input signal polarities occur within the limits of cutoff and saturation [7]. | ||
CLASS AB AMPLIFIER OPERATIONThe type of operation in which the amplifier is biased so that collector current is cut off for a portion of the alternation of the input signal [7]. | ||
CLASS B AMPLIFIER OPERATIONThe type of operation in which the amplifier is biased so that collector current is cut off for one-half of the input signal [7]. | ||
CLASS C AMPLIFIER OPERATIONThe type of operation in which the amplifier is biased so that collector current is cut off for more than one-half of the input signal [7] [13]. | ||
CLUTTERConfusing, unwanted echoes that interfere with the observation of desired signals on a radar indicator [18]. | ||
