quieting1937

1937 F. E. Terman Radio Engin. (ed. 2) xiii. 561 In tuning a sensitive receiver provided with automatic volume control, the noise output between stations is high because, when no signal is being received, the A.V.C. system increases the sensitivity of the receiver to the maximum possible value. Arrangements for eliminating this interstation noise are variously known as Q circuits, quieting systems, squelch circuits, etc.

1994 J. Perozzo Compl. Guide Electronics Troubleshooting xiii. 358 Remove the RF signal, then adjust the squelch for quieting of the receiver noise.

b. The reduction of the noise level in a receiver caused by the presence of an input at the frequency to which it is tuned.

quieting1949

1949 Proc. IRE 37 1373/2 The quieting-signal-sensitivity test input is the least unmodulated signal input which, when applied to the receiver through the standard dummy antenna, reduces the receiver noise by a factor of 20 decibels.

1960 IRE Trans. Vehicular Communications Dec. 32/2 Two methods of measuring sensitivity are recognized... The oldest and probably the most used is the quieting method. This procedure measures the on-frequency signal level required to reduce the noise output of a receiver by 20 db.

1974 P. K. Harvey & K. J. Bohlman Stereo F.M. Radio Handbk. iii. 41 Receiver sensitivity must be quoted together with the corresponding noise figure; a typical figure for a good circuit is 2μV for 30 dB quieting.

1997 Electrotechnology 8 24/1 In the 1960s it was common to use either the 20dB quieting method or to measure signal/noise ratio as the convention of the time.
