  2. Response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_spectrum

    A series of mixed vertical oscillators A plot of the peak acceleration for the mixed vertical oscillators. A response spectrum is a plot of the peak or steady-state response (displacement, velocity or acceleration) of a series of oscillators of varying natural frequency, that are forced into motion by the same base vibration or shock.

  3. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    rise time (20% to 80%) rise time (10% to 90%) t r ≈ 2.2 τ ≈ 0.35 f c {\displaystyle t_{r}\approx 2.2\tau \approx {\frac {0.35}{f_{c}}}} In more complicated circuits consisting of more than one resistor and/or capacitor, the open-circuit time constant method provides a way of approximating the cutoff frequency by computing a sum of several ...

    That means, membrane potential (voltage across the membrane) lags more behind current injections. Response times vary from 1–2 milliseconds in neurons that are processing information that needs high temporal precision to 100 milliseconds or longer. A typical response time is around 20 milliseconds.

  5. Telegrapher's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegrapher's_equations

    An advantage of the frequency domain approach is that differential operators in the time domain become algebraic operations in frequency domain. The equations come from Oliver Heaviside who developed the transmission line model starting with an August 1876 paper, On the Extra Current . [ 3 ]

  6. Coherence time (communications systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence_time...

    Coherence time is actually a statistical measure of the time duration over which the channel impulse response is essentially invariant, and quantifies the similarity of the channel response at different times. In other words, coherence time is the time duration over which two received signals have a strong potential for amplitude correlation.

  7. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    The period T is the time taken to complete one cycle of an oscillation or rotation. The frequency and the period are related by the equation [ 4 ] f = 1 T . {\displaystyle f={\frac {1}{T}}.} The term temporal frequency is used to emphasise that the frequency is characterised by the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time.

  8. Frequency response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_response

    Magnitude response of a low pass filter with 6 dB per octave or 20 dB per decade roll-off. Measuring the frequency response typically involves exciting the system with an input signal and measuring the resulting output signal, calculating the frequency spectra of the two signals (for example, using the fast Fourier transform for discrete signals), and comparing the spectra to isolate the ...

  9. Extreme response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_response_spectrum

    The response is described here by the relative movement of the mass of this system in relation to its support. The x-axis refers to the natural frequency and the y-axis to the highest peak multiplied by the square of the quantity (2 π x natural frequency), by analogy with the relative displacement shock response spectrum .
