What does SQUEG mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To oscillate in an irregular, self-interrupting manner, as an electronic circuit does when its output rises and falls unevenly instead of running smoothly.
Squeg describes a fault or a deliberately built behaviour in oscillating circuits, where the signal breaks into bursts instead of running as one steady wave. Engineers use the term specifically for radio-frequency oscillators, since an unwanted squegging pattern can distort a transmitted signal. The same word occasionally spreads beyond electronics to describe any process that starts and stops in an uneven, jerky rhythm.
How SQUEG is used
Confined almost entirely to electronics and radio engineering, and unfamiliar to most speakers outside that field.
- The old radio set began to squeg whenever the battery ran low.
- Engineers redesigned the circuit so it would no longer squeg under load.
- A squegging oscillator can be built on purpose to generate short pulses.
- The technician noted that the amplifier tended to squeg at high volume.
- If the feedback loop squegs, the output signal loses its steady shape.
