C

CHOKE JOINT

A joint between two sections of waveguide that provides a good electrical connection without power losses or reflections [11].


CIRCUIT

The complete path of an electric current [1].

CIRCULAR MIL

An 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].


CLAMPER

A circuit in which either the upper or lower extremity of a waveform is fixed at a desired value [9].


CLASS A AMPLIFIER OPERATION

The 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 OPERATION

The 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 OPERATION

The 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 OPERATION

The 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].


CLUTTER

Confusing, unwanted echoes that interfere with the observation of desired signals on a radar indicator [18].
