`
`IEEE Standards documents are developed within the Technical Com-
`mittees of the IEEE Societies, the accredited committees of the Institute,
`and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Board.
`Members of the committees serve voluntarily and without compensation.
`They are not necessarily members of the Institute. The standards devel-
`oped within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the sub-
`ject within the Institute as well as those activities outside of IEEE that
`have expressed an interest in participating in the development of the stan-
`dard.
`Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE
`Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, mea-
`sure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services related to the
`scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the
`time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about
`through developments in the state of the art and comments received from
`users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least
`every five years for revision or rte-affirmation. When a document is more
`than five years old and has not beenlvgeaifirmed, it is reasonable to conclude
`that its contents, although stfll__§of’soiiiie'$alue, do not wholly reflect the
`present state of the art. Userslar'é cagtiorifidtocheck to determine that they

`will initiate action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards
`represent a consensus of all concerned interests, it is important to ensure
`that any interpretation has also ieceived the concurrence of a balance of
`interests. For this reason IEEE and'flie members of its technical commit-
`tees are not able to provideganmstantéresponsp to interpretation requests

`
`Foreword
`
`.
`
`From their earliest years. both the American Institute of Electrical Engineering
`(AIEE) [1884) and the Institute of Radio Engineers [[RE) (1912) published stan-
`dards defining technical terms. They have maintained this practice since they
`were combined in 1963 to become the IEEE {Institute of Electrical and Electronics
`Engineers}.
`In 1928. the AIEE organized Sectional Committee C42 on Definitions of Electri-
`cal Terms under the procedures of the American Standards Association. now the
`American National Standards Institute. In 1941, AIEE published its first edition
`of American Standard Definitions of Electrical Terms in a single volume. However.
`by the time a second edition was ready. the highly accelerated development ofnew
`terms made it impracticable to publish in a single volume. and 17 separate docu-
`ments. each limited to a specific field. were published from 1956 to 1959.
`Over the years. lRE published a large number of standards that either included
`definitions or were devoted entirely to definitions. in 1961, it published all of its
`then-approved definitions in an alphabetically"arranged single volume.
`The 1972. 1977. 1984, and.1988 editionsi-of‘the iEEE Standard Dictionary of
`Electrical and Electronics Tennsnincludedt 11 termsand definitions that had been
`standardized previously by IEEE. as well-lies many-iromflAmerican National Stan-
`dards and the international Electrotechnieal Vocabulary. This edition adds
`definitions from IEEE standards'published since the 1988 edition. up to those
`approved in December of 19-91.

`This edition of IEEE Std 100-1992, Trig-New IEEE'stanciarci Dictionary qulectri-
`cal and Electronics Terms.
`represents‘._l;_'an evolution in our conception of the
`Dictionary and its place in our time-._and in relation to the directions that eiectro«
`technology is heading. This is the first_._edition of the dictionary to be produced
`using desk-top publishing technology and in—house. For the first time. this invalu-
`able compendium is in a single electronic database, and we are planning new
`products that will take advantage of the possibilities that this allows. The inclu-
`sion of abstracts of all current lEEEft-sftandat I_s.v:.e'nhances the usefulness of the
`Dictionary to the standards-writing commurfigy-Tand to industry as a whole. We
`have taken the first step toward eliminating the need for the Sources section at
`the back of the Dictionary: only those definitions from sources other than IEEE
`standards are listed; the number of the originating IEEE standard is given at the
`end of the definition. The Acronyms and Abbreviations section is much reduced in
`size from that of the previoas edition. and represents a rethinking of the entire
`section. Obsolete and irrelevant terms have been eliminated.
