Amplifier initially made a signal very clipped at both ends (5)
I believe the answer is:
maser
'amplifier' is the definition.
(I know that maser is a type of amplifier)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for maser that I've seen before include "Microwave beam generator" , "Microwave beam producer" .)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
