`
`How to use this dictionary
`
`The terms defined in this dictionary are listed in letter-by-letter alphabetical order. Spaces are ignored in
`this style of alphabetization, so cable value will come before cab signal. Descriptive categories associated
`with the te1m in earlier editions of IEEE Std 100 will follow the term in parentheses. New categories
`appear after the definitions (see Categories, below), followed by the designation of the standard or stan(cid:173)
`dards that include the definition. If a standard designation is followed by the letters, it means that edition
`of the standard was superseded by a newer revision and the term was not included in the revision. If a
`designation is followed by the letter w, it means that edition of the standard was withdrawn and not
`replaced by a revision. A bracketed number refers to the non-IEEE standard sources given in the back
`of the book.
`
`Acronyms and abbreviations are no longer listed in a separate section in the dictionary; rather, they are
`incorporated alphabetically with other terms. Each acronym or abbreviatiot;1 refers to its expanded term,
`where it is defined. Acronyms and abbreviations for which no definition was included in past editions
`have been deleted from this edition of IEEE Std 100.
`
`Abstracts of the current set of approved IEEE standards are provided in the back of the book. It should
`be noted that updated information about IEEE standards can be obtained at any time from the IEEE
`Standards World Wide Web site at http://standards.ieee.org/.
`
`Categories
`
`The category abbreviations that are used in this edition of IEEE Std 100 are defined below. This infor(cid:173)
`mation is provided to help elucidate the context of the definition. Older terms for which no category could
`be found have had the category "Std100" assigned to them. Note that terms from sources other than IEEE
`standards, such as the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) or the National Fire Protection Association,
`may not be from the most recent editions; the reader is cautioned to check the latest editions of all sources
`for the most up-to-date terminology.

`trol) A device for selecting one of a number of inputs and
`switching its information to the output.
`(PE/SWG/SUB) C37.1-1987s. C37.100-l992
`(2) (A) A device that allows the transmission of a number of
`different signals simultaneously over a single channel or
`transmission facility. Synonym: multiplexor. (B) A device ca(cid:173)
`pable of interleaving the events of two or more activities or
`of distributing the events of an interleaved sequence to their
`respective activities. Contrast: demultiplexer.
`(C) 610.7-1995
`multiplexing (1) (data transmission) (modulation systems)
`The combining of two or more signals into a single wave (the
`multiplex wave) from which the signals can be individually
`recovered.
`(PE) 599- I 985w
`(2) The division of a transmission facility into two or more
`channels, either by splitting the frequency band transmitted
`by the channel into narrower bands, each of which is used to
`constitute a distinct channel (frequency division multiplex(cid:173)
`ing) or by allotting this common channel to several different
`information channels one at a time (time-division multiplex(cid:173)
`ing).
`(PE/SUB) 999-1992
`(3) Subdivision of a common channel to make two or more
`channels by splitting the frequency band transmitted by the
`common channel into narrower bands, by allotting this com(cid:173)
`mon channel to several different information channels, or by
`other means, one at a time. Contrast: demultiplexing. See
`also: frequency-division multiplexing; synchronous time di(cid:173)
`vision multiplexing; time compression multiplexing; time
`multiplexed switching; time-division multiplexing.
`(C) 610.7-1995
`multiplex lap winding (rotating machinery) A lap winding in
`which the number of parallel circuits is equal to a multiple of
`the number of poles.
