LIMITER. A device that prevents (limits) a waveform from exceeding a specified value.
LINE CODES. The codes used when converting a bit stream for data transmission over a communication line. Example line codes include unipolar binary signaling [0 to + DC], Polar [-DC to +DC], or AMI for Alternate Mark Inversion [bipolar] to name just a few possible line code.
LINEAR. Having an output that varies in direct proportion to the input.
LINEAR IMPEDANCE. An impedance in which a change in current through a device changes in direct
proportion to the voltage applied to the device.
LINE-MAN SPLICE. A joint formed by the connecting of two or more conductors. The Lineman splice is one of a number of different styles of wire splices.
Lineman Wire Splice
LINE OF FORCE. A line in an electric or magnetic field that shows the direction of the force.
LINE-PULSING MODULATOR. Circuit that stores energy and forms pulses in the same circuit element, usually the pulse-forming network (pfn).
LIN-LOG AMPLIFIER. An amplifier in which the response is linear for weak signals and logarithmic for large signals.
LIQUID-COOLING SYSTEM. Source of cooling for high-heat producing equipments, such as microwave components, radar repeaters, and transmitters.
LISSAJOUS PATTERN. A combined, simultaneous display of the amplitude and phase relationships of two input signals on a CRT.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY. A Battery that uses lithium metallic oxide in its positive electrode (cathode) and carbon material in its negative electrode (anode). More data on Lithium Batteries.
