quadripole|ˈkwɒdrɪpəʊl| [ad. F. quadripôle (L. J. Collet 1926, in Ann. des Postes, Télégraphes et Téléphones XV. 939): see quadri- and pole n.2] 1. Electr. A network or device having one pair of input terminals and one pair of output terminals; esp. one that is passive.
1928Sci. Abstr. B. XXXI. 103 The author considers the quadripole, its..velocity of propagation, characteristic impedance and reflection properties. The amplifying valve is considered as an example of a quadripole. 1935G. P. Harnwell Princ. Electr. & Magn. iv. 115 In order to effect such a transfer [of power] a device with two pairs of terminals must be used. The transfer circuit itself generally contains no source of power and hence is known as a passive quadripole. 1952Electronic Engin. XXIV. 264/1 The method of dealing with the steady state analysis of passive quadripoles in terms of the matrix of the linear transformation expressed by the network equations was introduced by Strecker and Feldtkeller in 1929. 1955[see eigen-]. 1962Newnes Conc. Encycl. Electr. Engin. 629/2 A quadripole may be designed with dissipative elements as an attenuator, or with reactive elements as a filter. 2. Var. quadrupole. |
