Audio Frequency; the frequencies between 20 Hz
and 20 kHz in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Automatic Level Control
Amplitude Modulation; the process of impressing
information on a radio-frequency signal by varying
its amplitude.
The range of frequencies available for signalling.
Binary-Coded Decimal; a digital system that uses
binary codes to represent decimal digits.
Beat Frequency Oscillator
A bayonet locking connector for miniature coax;
said to be short for Bayonet-Neill-Concelman.
As used in the FM transmitter, refers to the entire
audio spectrum as opposed to the spectrum influ-
enced by the pre-emphasis; also called "Wideband."
A continuous signal which is modulated with a
second, information-carrying signal.
In FM broadcasting, this term generally refers to
the interaction between the main (L+R) and the
subcarrier (L–R) signals as opposed to "separation"
which generally refers to leakage between left (L)
and right (R) channels.
A high average of modulation over time.
The amount by which the carrier frequency
changes either side of the center frequency.
Dual In-line Package; term used to describe an IC
or socket that has two parallel rows of pins.
The unwanted changes in signal wave shape that
occur during transmission between two points.
Digital Panel Meter
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
Electrostatic Discharge; a discharge that is poten-
tially distructive to sensitive electronic compo-
nents.
