transrectification characteristic [tranz´rek·tǝ·fǝ`kā·shǝn ´kar·ik·tǝ´ris·tik] ELECTRONICS Graph obtained by plotting the direct-voltage values for one electrode of a vacuum tube as abscissas against the average current values in the circuit of that electrode as ordinates, for various values of alternating voltage applied to another electrode as a parameter; the alternating voltage is held constant for each curve, and the voltages on other electrodes are maintained constant. |
