Definition

Noun: 1. An electronic device that doubles the voltage or the frequency of an input signal: A component or circuit that takes an electrical input and outputs a signal with either twice the voltage level or twice the frequency.

Examples of Usage

• Noun:
  • The engineer installed a doubler in the circuit to increase the signal's frequency for the next stage.
  • A voltage doubler is often used in power supplies to generate higher DC voltages from a lower AC source.

Advanced Usage

• Voltage doubler: A specific type of doubler circuit designed to output a DC voltage that is approximately twice the peak voltage of its AC input.
  • The small device uses a voltage doubler to power its display from a single 1.5V battery.
• Frequency doubler: A specific type of doubler circuit designed to output a signal with a frequency that is exactly twice that of its input signal.
  • The laser system employs a frequency doubler to convert infrared light into green light.

Variants and Related Words

• Double (verb): To make or become twice as much or as many.
  • The new amplifier can double the power output.
• Doubling (noun): The action or process of making something double.
  • The doubling of the signal frequency was achieved efficiently.

Synonyms
