Amplifier
An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the magnitude of a signal (a time-varying voltage or current).
See Roofing filter and Amplifier
Amplitude modulation
Amplitude modulation (AM) is a modulation technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting messages with a radio wave.
See Roofing filter and Amplitude modulation
Band-pass filter
A band-pass filter or bandpass filter (BPF) is a device that passes frequencies within a certain range and rejects (attenuates) frequencies outside that range.
See Roofing filter and Band-pass filter
Bandwidth (signal processing)
Bandwidth is the difference between the upper and lower frequencies in a continuous band of frequencies.
See Roofing filter and Bandwidth (signal processing)
Clipping (signal processing)
Clipping is a form of distortion that limits a signal once it exceeds a threshold.
See Roofing filter and Clipping (signal processing)
Continuous wave
A continuous wave or continuous waveform (CW) is an electromagnetic wave of constant amplitude and frequency, typically a sine wave, that for mathematical analysis is considered to be of infinite duration.
See Roofing filter and Continuous wave
Crystal filter
A crystal filter allows some frequencies to 'pass' through an electrical circuit while attenuating undesired frequencies. Roofing filter and crystal filter are radio technology and wireless tuning and filtering.
See Roofing filter and Crystal filter
Digital signal processing
Digital signal processing (DSP) is the use of digital processing, such as by computers or more specialized digital signal processors, to perform a wide variety of signal processing operations.
See Roofing filter and Digital signal processing
Frequency mixer
In electronics, a mixer, or frequency mixer, is an electrical circuit that creates new frequencies from two signals applied to it. Roofing filter and frequency mixer are radio electronics.
See Roofing filter and Frequency mixer
Hertz
The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), equivalent to one event (or cycle) per second.
High frequency
High frequency (HF) is the ITU designation for the band of radio waves with frequency between 3 and 30 megahertz (MHz).
See Roofing filter and High frequency
In communications and electronic engineering, an intermediate frequency (IF) is a frequency to which a carrier wave is shifted as an intermediate step in transmission or reception. Roofing filter and intermediate frequency are radio electronics.

List of Institution of Engineering and Technology academic journals
This is a list of journals published by Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), including those from its predecessors Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) and Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE).

Mechanical filter
A mechanical filter is a signal processing filter usually used in place of an electronic filter at radio frequencies.
See Roofing filter and Mechanical filter
Modulation
In electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a separate signal called the modulation signal that typically contains information to be transmitted. Roofing filter and modulation are radio technology.
See Roofing filter and Modulation
Passband
A passband is the range of frequencies or wavelengths that can pass through a filter.
See Roofing filter and Passband
Preselector
A preselector is a name for an electronic device that connects between a radio antenna and a radio receiver. Roofing filter and preselector are radio electronics, receiver (radio) and wireless tuning and filtering.
See Roofing filter and Preselector
Radio receiver
In radio communications, a radio receiver, also known as a receiver, a wireless, or simply a radio, is an electronic device that receives radio waves and converts the information carried by them to a usable form. Roofing filter and radio receiver are receiver (radio).
See Roofing filter and Radio receiver
Shortwave radio
Shortwave radio is radio transmission using radio frequencies in the shortwave bands (SW).
See Roofing filter and Shortwave radio
Sideband
In radio communications, a sideband is a band of frequencies higher than or lower than the carrier frequency, that are the result of the modulation process.
See Roofing filter and Sideband
Very high frequency
Very high frequency (VHF) is the ITU designation for the range of radio frequency electromagnetic waves (radio waves) from 30 to 300 megahertz (MHz), with corresponding wavelengths of ten meters to one meter.
