  2. Sine and cosine transforms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_and_cosine_transforms

    Fourier transforms relate a time-domain function (red) to a frequency-domain function (blue). Sine or cosine waves that make up the original function will appear as peaks in the frequency domain functions produced by the sine or cosine transform, respectively. The Fourier sine transform of () is: [note 1]

    m s −2 [L][T] −2: Spatial position Position of a point in space, not necessarily a point on the wave profile or any line of propagation d, r: m [L] Wave profile displacement Along propagation direction, distance travelled (path length) by one wave from the source point r 0 to any point in space d (for longitudinal or transverse waves) L, d, r

  4. 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]

  5. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    The sine and tangent small-angle approximations are used in relation to the double-slit experiment or a diffraction grating to develop simplified equations like the following, where y is the distance of a fringe from the center of maximum light intensity, m is the order of the fringe, D is the distance between the slits and projection screen ...

  6. Beat (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics)

    Time duration of 9 minutes. "Binaural beats were first discovered by physicist Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839. They are an auditory illusion that is perceived when two different pure-tone sine waves, both with frequencies lower than 1500 Hz and less than a 40 Hz difference between them, are presented to a listener dichotically (one through each ...

  7. Instantaneous phase and frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instantaneous_phase_and...

    When φ(t) is constrained to its principal value, either the interval (−π, π] or [0, 2π), it is called wrapped phase. Otherwise it is called unwrapped phase, which is a continuous function of argument t, assuming s a (t) is a continuous function of t. Unless otherwise indicated, the continuous form should be inferred. Instantaneous phase ...

  8. Discrete cosine transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_cosine_transform

    A discrete cosine transform (DCT) expresses a finite sequence of data points in terms of a sum of cosine functions oscillating at different frequencies.The DCT, first proposed by Nasir Ahmed in 1972, is a widely used transformation technique in signal processing and data compression.

  9. Pulse compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_compression

    Since the distance travelled by a wave during is (where c is the speed of the wave in the medium), and since this distance corresponds to a round-trip time, we get: Result 1 The range resolution with a sinusoidal pulse is 1 2 c T {\textstyle {\frac {1}{2}}cT} where T {\displaystyle T} is the pulse Duration and, c {\displaystyle c} , the speed ...
