CONTROL TRANSMITTER (CX)A type of synchro that converts a mechanical input, which is the angular position of its rotor, into an electrical output signal. The output is taken from the stator windings and is used to drive either a CDX or CT [15]. | ||
CONTROL-GRID MODULATORUses a variation of grid bias to vary the instantaneous plate voltage and current. The modulating signal is applied to the control grid [12]. | ||
CONVERTERIn communications, equipment that changes the audio output of a receiver to dc pulses. These pulses are fed to a tty to indicate marks and spaces [17]. | ||
COOKIE-CUTTER TUNERA mechanical magnetron tuning device that changes the frequency by changing the capacitance of the anode cavities [11]. | ||
COPPER LOSS (I2R LOSS)The power lost because of the resistance of the conductors. In transformers the power lost because of current flow (I) through the resistance (R) of the windings [2] [10] [11]. | ||
CORDWOOD MODULEA method of increasing the number of discrete components in a given space. Resembles wood stacked for a fireplace [14]. | ||
COREAny material that affords a path for magnetic flux lines in a coil [2]. | ||
CORNER-REFLECTOR ANTENNAA half-wave antenna with a reflector consisting of two flat metal surfaces meeting at an angle behind the radiator [10] [18]. | ||
CORONAThe discharge of electricity from a conductor with a high potential [4]. | ||
