square wave

A wave that has two significant conditions, i.e., two levels of amplitude, that change from one condition to the other in a relatively short time compared to the wavelength.
Note: When the instantaneous amplitude is plotted versus time or distance, the waveform has a rectangular shape. [From Weik '89]

squelch

A circuit function that acts to suppress the audio output of a receiver. [NTIA]
Note: The squelch function is activated in the absence of a sufficiently strong desired input signal, in order to exclude undesired lower-power input signals that may be present at or near the frequency of the desired signal.
