  2. Wiretapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiretapping

    The wire tap received its name because, historically, the monitoring connection was an actual electrical tap on an analog telephone or telegraph line. Legal wiretapping by a government agency is also called lawful interception. Passive wiretapping monitors or records the traffic, while active wiretapping alters or otherwise affects it. [1] [2]

  3. Time-domain reflectometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-domain_reflectometer

    The TDR analysis begins with the propagation of a step or impulse of energy into a system and the subsequent observation of the energy reflected by the system. By analyzing the magnitude, duration and shape of the reflected waveform, the nature of the impedance variation in the transmission system can be determined.

  4. Covert listening device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_listening_device

    A covert listening device, more commonly known as a bug or a wire, is usually a combination of a miniature radio transmitter with a microphone. The use of bugs, called bugging, or wiretapping is a common technique in surveillance , espionage and police investigations.

  5. Fiber tapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_tapping

    Tapping of optical fiber allows diverting some of the signal being transmitted in the core of the fiber into another fiber or a detector. Fiber to the home (FTTH) systems use beam splitters to allow many users to share one backbone fiber connecting to a central office, cutting the cost of each connection to the home. Test equipment can simply ...

  6. Envelope detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_detector

    Envelope detectors are often a component of other circuits, such as a compressor or an auto-wah or envelope-followed filter. In these circuits, the envelope follower is part of what is known as the " side chain ", a circuit which describes some characteristic of the input, in this case its volume.

  7. Electrical fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_fault

    The individual circuits are then connected together in a particular arrangement that depends upon the type of fault being studied (this can be found in most power systems textbooks). Once the sequence circuits are properly connected, the network can then be analyzed using classical circuit analysis techniques.

  8. Induction loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_loop

    An induction or inductive loop is an electromagnetic communication or detection system which uses a moving magnet or an alternating current to induce an electric current in a nearby wire. Induction loops are used for transmission and reception of communication signals, or for detection of metal objects in metal detectors or vehicle presence ...

  9. Phase detector characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_detector_characteristic

    For the analysis of Phase detector it is usually considered the models of PD in signal (time) domain and phase-frequency domain. [1] In this case for constructing of an adequate nonlinear mathematical model of PD in phase-frequency domain it is necessary to find the characteristic of phase detector.
