`power detection

`
`power line carrier
`
`power detection That form of detection in which the power output of
`the detecting device is used to supply a substantial amount of power
`to the subsequent devices.
`
`power density In optics, a deprecated synonym for irradiance.
`
`power dissipation The amount of energy converted to heat in a de(cid:173)
`vice. Mathematically, it is the square of the current through the de(cid:173)
`vice times its resistance (P = P R).
`power disturbance Any of several forms of mains waveform distor(cid:173)
`tions and deviations from the nominal value--e.g., blackout,
`brownout, spike, surge, frequency stability, waveform purity, and
`noise. See also mains.
`
`power factor (1) The ratio of active power (watts) to apparent power
`(voltamps).
`
`In ac power transmission and distribution, the cosine of the phase an(cid:173)
`gle between the voltage and current When the load is inductive (e.g.,
`an induction motor), the current lags the applied voltage, and the
`power factor is said to be a lagging power factor. When the load is
`capacitive (e.g., a synchronous motor or a capacitive network), the
`current leads the applied voltage, and the power factor is said to be a
`leading power factor. Power factors other than unity have deleterious
`effects on power transmission systems-i.e., excessive transmission
`losses and reduced system capacity. See also power (P). (2) In
`switchrnode power supplies, the existence of significant distortion in
`the current waveform due to both the high-input capacitance of the
`converter and the effect of charging the capacitor only at the peak in(cid:173)
`put voltage. This leads to a current waveform such as is shown in the
`drawing along with high associated harmonic content. By regulation,
`
`power failure transfer (1) In power, the switching of a load from a
`primary source to a secondary (bac~p) source when a measured pa(cid:173)
`rameter of the primary source is outside specified limits. Examples
`include:
`• Power distribution. The switching of primary utility mains to a
`secondary (backup) whenever the primary source operates out(cid:173)
`side specified parameters.
`• Telephony. The switching from commercial power sources at the
`central office (CO) to locally generated (backup) power in the
`event commercial power falls outside desired limits.
`
`(2) In telephony, the transfer of certain analog telephone instruments
`from private automatic branch exchange (PARX) station lines to pre(cid:173)
`designed central office analog trunks in the event of commercial
`power failure and a low PABX battery condition. Power failure trans(cid:173)
`fer is an emergency mode of operation in which only one instrument
`at the subscriber location may be powered from each central office
`trunk. Also called power fail bypass.
`
`power gain (1) In general, the ratio of the power a device delivers to
`its load to the power the device receives at its input. Power gain is
`usually expressed in decibels (dB). (2) With an antenna, the ratio of
`the power flux (at a point in the far field) per unit area of the antenna
`to an isotropic radiator.
`
`The Friis transmission formula is usually used to define far-field dis(cid:173)
`tance (r), that is,
`
`where D is the maximum aperture dimension of the antenna and A. is
`the wavelength of the radiation. The isotropic radiator must be con(cid:173)
`tained in the smallest sphere containing the antenna; common points
`are the antenna terminals and points of symmetry.
`

`profiles characterized by:
`
`1 - 2t:.(~r ' r::; rc
`nCr) = {Ill
`III V"1="2X

`
`Multimode distortion is minimum when g takes a particular value de(cid:173)
`pending on the material used. For most materials, this optimum value
`is approximately 2. When g increases without limit, the profile tends
`to a step index profile.

`
`spectral density
`
`a broadcast stonn), eventually degrading system perfonnance. This
`algorithm ensures that only one path connects any pair of stations, se(cid:173)
`lecting one bridge as the root bridge from which all paths should ra(cid:173)
`diate.
`
`The algorithm is based on the original spanning tree algorithm de(cid:173)
`veloped by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). The two algo(cid:173)
`rithms are not identical, however, nor are they even compatible.
`
`A typical application accepts input from callers where the callers are
`using rotary dial instead of dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) tele(cid:173)
`phones and then use voice response to verbalized questions to route
`calls or provide infonnation. These SIR products have deliberately
`limited vocabularies but are increasing due to the vast installed base
`of non-DTMF phones. Another developing application provides for
`the automated conversion of speech to accurate and meaningful tex(cid:173)
`tual infonnation.

`phone arranged for hands-free, two-way conversation.
`
`spark gap A gas dielectric separating two electrodes designed so as
`to carry an electrical current when the voltage exceeds a predeter(cid:173)
`mined level (overvoltage protection). A spark gap may be exposed
`with air as the dielectric, or it may be enclosed in a container with se(cid:173)
`lected gasses at pressures other than one atmosphere. Spark gaps are
`used to protect communications circuits from damage due to exces(cid:173)
`sive voltages. See also gas tube.
`
`spark killer A· circuit or device connected across a relay or switch
`contact or in parallel with a switched inductive element for the pur(cid:173)
`pose of reducing or absorbing the spark energy that occurs when an
`inductive circuit carrying a current is suddenly opened.
`
`Frequently, the circuit is simply a series resistor and capacitor. The
`capacitor blocks the direct current being switched while passing the
`spark's transient energy and the resistor dissipates the energy of that
`spark. Also called a snubber or surge arrestOl:

`
`speaker-dependent voice recognition A speech recognition technol(cid:173)
`ogy/algorithm which requires that each user train the system to the
`user's speech characteristics. These systems will therefore recognize
`speech from only a given user or someone who sounds like that user.
`The system cannot, however, be used as a speaker verification device.
`
`speaker-independent voice recognition (SIR or SIVR) A speech
`recognition system technology/algorithm that automatically recog(cid:173)
`nizes utterances of an arbitrary user without prior training.
`
`spec. An abbreviation of SPECification.
`
`SPEC An acronym for .s.peech £redictive ;Encoded .communications.
`
`special access In telephony, a dedicated line, installed by the local ex-
`change carrier (LEC) between a subscriber and a long-distance carrier.
`
`special billing number A phone number assigned to a customer for
`billing purposes only. It cannot be called; however, it can be used as
`a bill to a third-party number or given to the operator as an outgoing
`paid call number.
`
`special routing code In telephony, a three-digit code (of the fonn
`OXX or lXX) which is used within the network to modify call rout(cid:173)
`ing or handling. End users are blocked from its use because office
`codes starting with 0 or 1 are rejected by the local exchange carrier
`(LEC) switching system.
`
`specialized common carrier (SCC) A common carrier offering a
`limited type of service or serving a limited market.
`
`specification An essential technical requirements document for hard(cid:173)
`ware and/or software items, materials, and/or services, including:
`• A detailed, precise description of the operation, parameters, ca(cid:173)
`pabilities, input requirements, features, required environment,
`and limitations.
`• The procedures to be used to determine whether the requirement
`has been met.
`• The requirements for packaging, packing, and marking.
`
`specific detectivity (D*) A figure of merit used to characterize the
`perfonnance of a photo detector. It is equal to the reciprocal of noise
`equivalent power (NEP), nonnalized to unit area and unit bandwidth.
`Mathematically, it is expressed:
`
`D* = v;:;;,j

`/),.f
`
`Also called D-Star (D*).
`
`speckle noise A synonym for modal noise.
`
`speckle pattern In optical systems, a field intensity pattern produced
`by the mutual interference of partially coherent beams that are sub(cid:173)
`ject to minute temporal and spatial fluctuations.
`
`In a multimode fiber, a speckle pattern results from the superposition
`of mode field patterns. If the relative modal group velocities change
`with time, the speckle patte17l will also change. If differential mode
`attenuation occurs, lIlodalnoise results.
`
`spectral density For a specified bandwidth of radiation consisting of
`a continuous frequency spectrum, the total power in the specified
`bandwidth divided by the specified bandwidth. Spectral density is
`usually expressed in watts per hertz 0N 1Hz).
