Waveguide filterA waveguide filter is an electronic filter constructed with waveguide technology. Waveguides are hollow metal conduits inside which an electromagnetic wave may be transmitted. Filters are devices used to allow signals at some frequencies to pass (the passband), while others are rejected (the stopband). Filters are a basic component of electronic engineering designs and have numerous applications. These include selection of signals and limitation of noise.
Loading coilA loading coil or load coil is an inductor that is inserted into an electronic circuit to increase its inductance. The term originated in the 19th century for inductors used to prevent signal distortion in long-distance telegraph transmission cables. The term is also used for inductors in radio antennas, or between the antenna and its feedline, to make an electrically short antenna resonant at its operating frequency. The concept of loading coils was discovered by Oliver Heaviside in studying the problem of slow signalling speed of the first transatlantic telegraph cable in the 1860s.
Electrical elementIn electrical engineering, electrical elements are conceptual abstractions representing idealized electrical components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, used in the analysis of electrical networks. All electrical networks can be analyzed as multiple electrical elements interconnected by wires. Where the elements roughly correspond to real components, the representation can be in the form of a schematic diagram or circuit diagram. This is called a lumped-element circuit model.
Port (système)En dynamique des systèmes, un port est le lieu par lequel deux sous-systèmes interconnectés échangent de l'énergie. Ce lieu peut être un dispositif technique spécifiquement conçu pour échanger de l'énergie comme par exemple les quatre bornes d'un circuit électrique triphasé (correspondant aux trois phases plus le neutre), ou bien être plus abstrait ou plus diffus comme l'ensemble des surfaces extérieures d'un bâtiment qui échangent de la chaleur avec l'environnement sous les trois formes possibles (conduction, convection, rayonnement).
