A communications or electronic circuit that has a built-in delay. See delay line memory.


delay line [di′lā ‚līn]
(electronics)
A transmission line (as dissipationless as possible), or an electric network approximation of it, which, if terminated in its characteristic impedance, will reproduce at its output a waveform applied to its input terminals with little distortion, but at a time delayed by an amount dependent upon the electrical length of the line. Also known as artificial delay line.
