Some rare channels, however, show current-voltage characteristics that is non-linear.

These devices measure the current-voltage characteristics of the satellite.

The objective is to explain the various bias regimes in the figure displaying current-voltage characteristics.

The current-voltage characteristic often exhibits negative differential resistance regions.

Any quantitative design based upon new technology uses computer models for the devices that account for the changed current-voltage characteristics.

Both of these uses are made possible by the FET's unique current-voltage characteristics.

A varistor is an electronic component with a "diode-like" nonlinear current-voltage characteristic.

They typically have non-linear current-voltage characteristics, and do not behave as simple ohmic conductors.

This state corresponds to the voltage branch of the Josephson junction current-voltage characteristic.

Formally, for a memoryless two-terminal element, this means that the current-voltage characteristic is monotonically increasing.

The mercury arc valve current-voltage characteristics are highly dependent on the temperature of the liquid mercury.

For example, one may speak of the I-intercept of the current-voltage characteristic of, say, a diode.

As shown in the figure, the on and off resistances are the reciprocal slopes of the current-voltage characteristic at a selected bias point:

An important property of a gyrator is that it inverts the current-voltage characteristic of an electrical component or network.

In cold cathode tubes, the electric discharge in gas has three regions, with distinct current-voltage characteristics:

The electrical potential then modifies the concentration of ion species, resulting in an asymmetric current-voltage characteristic for the current through the pipet.

A semiconductor diode's behavior in a circuit is given by its current-voltage characteristic, or I-V graph (see graph below).

Budyansky, A. and A. Zykov, "Static current-voltage characteristics for radio-frequencyinduction discharge".

The subthreshold slope is a feature of a MOSFET's current-voltage characteristic.

If the mercury-sample contact is ohmic (non-rectifying) then current-voltage instrumentation can be used to measure resistance, leakage currents, or current-voltage characteristics.

The STJ can also be used as a heterodyne detector by exploiting the change in the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic that results from photon-assisted tunneling.

Semiconductor diodes' nonlinear current-voltage characteristic can be tailored by varying the semiconductor materials and doping, introducing impurities into the materials.

This allows recording conventional current-voltage characteristic from tiny areas of the sample, and thereby to extract information on the local electronic properties, such as local density of states.

A Josephson junction will allow currents up to to pass through without any voltage; this corresponds to the superconducting branch of the Josephson junction's current-voltage characteristic.

Lamps including arc-discharge lamps, incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps and mercury vapor lamps have two terminals and display nonlinear current-voltage characteristics.
