In telecommunication, a disturbance voltage is an unwanted voltage induced in a system by natural or man-made sources.
In telecommunications systems, the disturbance voltage creates currents that limit or interfere with the interchange of information. An example of a disturbance voltage is a voltage that produces (a) false signals in a telephone, (b) noise in a radio receiver, or (c) distortion in a received signal.
Famous quotes containing the word disturbance:
“...though one can be callous in Ireland one cannot be wholly opaque or material. An unearthly disturbance works in the spirit; reason can never reconcile one to life; nothing allays the wants one cannot explain.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
