1Transistor — For other uses, see Transistor (disambiguation). Assorted discrete transistors. Packages in order from top to bottom: TO 3, TO 126, TO 92, SOT 23 A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and power. It… …
2transistor — /tran zis teuhr/, n. 1. Electronics. a semiconductor device that amplifies, oscillates, or switches the flow of current between two terminals by varying the current or voltage between one of the terminals and a third: although much smaller in… …
3Amplifier — For other uses, see Amplifier (disambiguation). Generally, an amplifier or simply amp, is a device for increasing the power of a signal. In popular use, the term usually describes an electronic amplifier, in which the input signal is usually a… …
4Avalanche transistor — An Avalanche Transistor is a bipolar junction transistor designed for operation in the region of its collector current/collector to emitter voltage characteristics beyond the collector to emitter breakdown voltage, called avalanche breakdown… …
5Electronic amplifier — A practical amplifier circuit An electronic amplifier is a device for increasing the power of a signal. It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In… …
6Distributed amplifier — Distributed amplifiers are circuit designs that incorporate transmission line theory into traditional amplifier design to obtain a larger gain bandwidth product than is realizable by conventional circuits. N stage traveling wave amplifier …
7Crossed-field amplifier — A crossed field amplifier (CFA) is a specialized vacuum tube, first introduced in the mid 1950s and frequently used as a microwave amplifier in very high power transmitters. Raytheon engineer William C. Brown s work to adapt magnetron principles… …
8Valve amplifier — A valve amplifier or tube amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier that make use of vacuum tubes instead of solid state semiconductor devices (such as transistors). As any other electronic amplifier they serve to increase the power and/or… …
9Valve RF amplifier — A valve RF amplifier (UK and Aus.) or tube amplifier (U.S.), is a device for electrically amplifying the power of an electrical , typically (but not exclusively) radio frequency signals.Low to medium power valve amplifiers for frequencies below… …
