noun
- A device or component that separates or isolates two systems, signals, or mechanical parts to prevent unwanted interaction or interference.
- In electronics, a capacitor or other component used to block direct current while allowing alternating current to pass through.
Usage: commonly used in electronics, engineering, and physics
Usage: technical; electronics and signal processing
Examples
- The decoupler in the circuit prevents low-frequency noise from affecting the sensitive amplifier.
- Engineers installed a mechanical decoupler to isolate vibrations from the engine.
- A decoupler capacitor is essential for blocking DC bias in audio signal chains.
- The decoupler allows the two subsystems to operate independently without interference.
- In power distribution systems, decouple capacitors serve as decouple to stabilize voltage.
- The decoupler reduced cross-talk between adjacent transmission lines.
