Synonym multimode distortion.

Incorrect synonym for multimode distortion.

Synonym multimode distortion.

The production, in a nonlinear element of a system, of frequencies corresponding to the sum and difference frequencies of the fundamentals and harmonics thereof that are transmitted through the element.

Nonlinear distortion characterized by the appearance, in the output of a device, of frequencies that are linear combinations of the fundamental frequencies and all harmonics present in the input signals.
Note: Harmonic components themselves are not usually considered to characterize intermodulation distortion. When the harmonics are included as part of the distortion, a statement to that effect should be made.

In a transmission path or device, noise, generated during modulation and demodulation, that results from nonlinear characteristics in the path or device.

In the output of a nonlinear system, a frequency produced by intermodulation of harmonics of the frequencies present in the input signal.

In a start-stop teletypewriter receiving mechanism, bias generated locally by the mechanism, and which has the same effect on the operating margin as bias external to the receiver, i.e., applied bias.
Note: Internal bias may be a marking bias or a spacing bias.

A call placed within a private branch exchange (PBX) or local switchboard, i.e., not through a central office in a public switched network. Synonym inside call. [From Weik '89]

In a computer, all of the storage spaces that are accessible by a processor without the use of the computer input-output channels.
Note: Internal memory usually includes several types of storage, such as main storage, cache memory, and special registers, all of which can be directly accessed by the processor. Synonym internal storage.
