`

`intensity modulation Syn. z—modulation. The variation in brilliance of the spot on the
`screen of a cathode—ray tube in accordance with the magnitude of an input signal.
`
`interaction space A region in an electron tube that roughly corresponds to the inter—
`electrode space and in Which the electrons interact with an alternating magnetic field.
`
`interactive Allowing continuous two-way communication between the user of an
`>online peripheral device, such as a >terminal, and a >computer. Interactive operation
`enables a user at a remote location to send and receive information to and from a com—
`puter quickly, and to modify the operation of a >pr0gram during its execution following
`the production of intermediate results or interrogation. »time sharing; real—time
`operation.
`
`intercarrier system Syn. video IF system. A system in a television receiver in which
`the same intermediate—frequency (IF) stages amplify the sound and video signals
`(>mixer).
`
`interconnecting feeder >trunk feeder.
`
`interconnection 1. Any method of providing an electrical path between any of the ma—
`terials (metals, semiconductors, etc.) that combine to form a circuit. 2. Connections be—
`tween and external to any functional item that forms a circuit or system of circuits.
`Functional items include component parts, devices, subassemblies, and assemblies.
`»intraconnection.
`
`interconnector >trunk feeder.
`
`interdigitated capacitor >monolithic capacitor.
`
`interelectrode capacitance The capacitance between specified electrodes of an elec—
`tronic device (such as the base and emitter of a bipolar transistor) that may form a small
`capacitor Within the device. The operation of such devices can be significantly affected
`by the existence of interelectrode capacitances.
`'
`
`interface The electronic circuitry used to connect two or more devices, usually required
`to compensate for differences in speed, signal levels, and/or codes between the con-
`necting devices. The devices are generally computer components or systems.
`
`interference A disturbance to the signal in any communication system caused by un—
`wanted signals. A common cause of interference in radio reception is the operation of
`electrical machinery and apparatus, particularly commutating machines and apparatus
`containing gas—discharge tubes. Television signals frequently suffer serious interference
`from motor-vehicle ignition systems.
