What is an Electronic Chopper?

An Electronic Chopper (CHOPPER,ELECTRONIC) is an electromechanical or electronic (includes solid state semiconductor items) device designed to convert an electrical signal into a modified square wave output signal. For items excited by an alternating current, the output signal is the same frequency as, and bears a definite phase relationship to, the excitation voltage. For those electronic items designed to operate on direct current only, the output frequency of the item is dependent upon the inherent properties of the item, or the internal or external circuit constants, or the applied driving coil voltage impressed on the input signal. For an electromechanical item whose coil is designed for direct current only, see VIBRATOR, INTERRUPTER and VIBRATOR, SELF-RECTIFYING.

What is a Crystal Controlled Oscillator?

A Crystal Controlled Oscillator (OSCILLATOR,CRYSTAL CONTROLLED) is an oscillator whose operating frequency(ies) is controlled by a CRYSTAL UNIT, QUARTZ.

Excludes FREQUENCY SUPPLY, TELEPHONE CARRIER; RESONATOR, TUNING FORK; and OSCILLATOR, PULSE DELAY.

What is a Noncrystal Controlled Oscillator?

A Noncrystal Controlled Oscillator (OSCILLATOR,NONCRYSTAL CONTROLLED) is an oscillator whose operating frequency(ies) is controlled by an electronic device other than a CRYSTAL UNIT, QUARTZ. For an oscillator controlled by a crystal, see OSCILLATOR (1), CRYSTAL CONTROLLED. See also GENERATOR, SIGNAL; and CALIBRATOR, FREQUENCY. Excludes FREQUENCY SUPPLY, TELEPHONE CARRIER; RESONATOR, TUNING FORK; and OSCILLATOR, PULSE DELAY.

What is a Standardized Electronic Module?
