  2. Sine wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

    Tracing the y component of a circle while going around the circle results in a sine wave (red). Tracing the x component results in a cosine wave (blue). Both waves are sinusoids of the same frequency but different phases. A sine wave, sinusoidal wave, or sinusoid (symbol: ∿) is a periodic wave whose waveform (shape) is the trigonometric sine ...

  3. Sinusoidal model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinusoidal_model

    This sinusoidal model can be fit using nonlinear least squares; to obtain a good fit, routines may require good starting values for the unknown parameters. Fitting a model with a single sinusoid is a special case of spectral density estimation and least-squares spectral analysis .

  4. Phase (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(waves)

    When two signals with these waveforms, same period, and opposite phases are added together, the sum + is either identically zero, or is a sinusoidal signal with the same period and phase, whose amplitude is the difference of the original amplitudes. The phase shift of the co-sine function relative to the sine function is +90°.

  5. Numerically controlled oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerically_controlled...

    The phase-amplitude converter creates the sample-domain waveform from the truncated phase output word received from the PA. The PAC can be a simple read only memory containing 2 M contiguous samples of the desired output waveform which typically is a sinusoid. Often though, various tricks are employed to reduce the amount of memory required.

  6. Waveform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveform

    A sine, square, and sawtooth wave at 440 Hz A composite waveform that is shaped like a teardrop. A waveform generated by a synthesizer. In electronics, acoustics, and related fields, the waveform of a signal is the shape of its graph as a function of time, independent of its time and magnitude scales and of any displacement in time.

  7. Frequency domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_domain

    The modulus of the number is the amplitude of that component, and the argument is the relative phase of the wave. For example, using the Fourier transform, a sound wave, such as human speech, can be broken down into its component tones of different frequencies, each represented by a sine wave of a different amplitude and phase. The response of ...

  8. Envelope (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(waves)

    A modulated wave resulting from adding two sine waves of identical amplitude and nearly identical wavelength and frequency. A common situation resulting in an envelope function in both space x and time t is the superposition of two waves of almost the same wavelength and frequency: [2]

  9. Periodic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_function

    A periodic function, also called a periodic waveform (or simply periodic wave), is a function that repeats its values at regular intervals or periods. The repeatable part of the function or waveform is called a cycle. [1] For example, the trigonometric functions, which repeat at intervals of radians, are periodic functions.
