Record 5 1995-04-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Audio Technology
  • Range Measurements (Telecommunications)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
DEF

The measure of any component's ability to pass signals of different frequency without affecting their relative strengths. This is shown as a graph or "curve" which assumes input signals equally strong at all frequencies and plots their output intensities against a decibel scale. ... Frequency response may also be stated as a frequency range but with specified decibel limits, indicating the maximum deviations from flat response [e.g., 30 to 20,000 Hz [+ or -] 2 dB]

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électroacoustique
  • Mesures à distance (Télécommunications)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
DEF

Réponse en fréquence. - La fidélité de reproduction exige une courbe de réponse uniforme sur une large bande de fréquences acoustiques, pour que l'appareil amplifie dans le même rapport les différentes fréquences transmises.

OBS

Il existe un rapport si étroit entre ce terme et "bande passante", que ces termes sont quelquefois employés l'un pour l'autre dans certains contextes.
