  2. 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°.

  3. Phasor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasor

    The complex constant, which depends on amplitude and phase, is known as a phasor, or complex amplitude, [4] [5] and (in older texts) sinor [6] or even complexor. [ 6 ] A common application is in the steady-state analysis of an electrical network powered by time varying current where all signals are assumed to be sinusoidal with a common frequency.

  4. Instantaneous phase and frequency - Wikipedia

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

    Instantaneous phase vs time. The function has two true discontinuities of 180° at times 21 and 59, indicative of amplitude zero-crossings. The 360° "discontinuities" at times 19, 37, and 91 are artifacts of phase wrapping. Instantaneous phase of a frequency-modulated waveform: MSK (minimum shift keying).

  5. Constellation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_diagram

    Each symbol is encoded as a different phase shift of the carrier sine wave: 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°. A constellation diagram is a representation of a signal modulated by a digital modulation scheme such as quadrature amplitude modulation or phase-shift keying. [1]

  6. Bode plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bode_plot

    Figure 10: Amplitude diagram of a 10th-order electronic filter plotted using a Bode plotter. The Bode plotter is an electronic instrument resembling an oscilloscope, which produces a Bode diagram, or a graph, of a circuit's voltage gain or phase shift plotted against frequency in a feedback control system or a filter. An example of this is ...

  7. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-phase_and_quadrature...

    The two amplitude-modulated sinusoids are known as the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, which describes their relationships with the amplitude- and phase-modulated carrier. [ A ] [ 2 ] Or in other words, it is possible to create an arbitrarily phase-shifted sine wave, by mixing together two sine waves that are 90° out of phase in ...

  8. Harmonic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_oscillator

    The period and frequency are determined by the size of the mass m and the force constant k, while the amplitude and phase are determined by the starting position and velocity. The velocity and acceleration of a simple harmonic oscillator oscillate with the same frequency as the position, but with shifted phases.

  9. Phase velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_velocity

    The phase velocity is given in terms of the wavelength λ (lambda) and time period T as v p = λ T . {\displaystyle v_{\mathrm {p} }={\frac {\lambda }{T}}.} Equivalently, in terms of the wave's angular frequency ω , which specifies angular change per unit of time, and wavenumber (or angular wave number) k , which represent the angular change ...
