  2. Return period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_period

    The theoretical return period between occurrences is the inverse of the average frequency of occurrence. For example, a 10-year flood has a 1/10 = 0.1 or 10% chance of being exceeded in any one year and a 50-year flood has a 0.02 or 2% chance of being exceeded in any one year.

  3. Sampling (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(signal_processing)

    The image sampling frequency is the repetition rate of the sensor integration period. Since the integration period may be significantly shorter than the time between repetitions, the sampling frequency can be different from the inverse of the sample time: 50 Hz – PAL video; 60 / 1.001 Hz ~= 59.94 Hz – NTSC video

  4. Frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency

    The period (symbol T) is the interval of time between events, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency: T = 1/f. [ 2 ] Frequency is an important parameter used in science and engineering to specify the rate of oscillatory and vibratory phenomena, such as mechanical vibrations, audio signals ( sound ), radio waves , and light .

  5. Frequency (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_(statistics)

    A frequency distribution shows a summarized grouping of data divided into mutually exclusive classes and the number of occurrences in a class. It is a way of showing unorganized data notably to show results of an election, income of people for a certain region, sales of a product within a certain period, student loan amounts of graduates, etc.

  6. Duty cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_cycle

    For example, a signal (10101010) has 50% duty cycle, because the pulse remains high for 1/2 of the period or low for 1/2 of the period. Similarly, for pulse (10001000) the duty cycle will be 25% because the pulse remains high only for 1/4 of the period and remains low for 3/4 of the period. Electrical motors typically use less than a 100% duty ...

  7. Q factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor

    A second-order Butterworth filter (i.e., continuous-time filter with the flattest passband frequency response) has an underdamped Q = ⁠ 1 / √ 2 ⁠. [11] A pendulum's Q-factor is: Q = Mω/Γ, where M is the mass of the bob, ω = 2π/T is the pendulum's radian frequency of oscillation, and Γ is the frictional damping force on the pendulum ...

  8. Instantaneous phase and frequency - Wikipedia

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

    Instantaneous phase and frequency are important concepts in signal processing that occur in the context of the representation and analysis of time-varying functions. [1] The instantaneous phase (also known as local phase or simply phase ) of a complex-valued function s ( t ), is the real-valued function:

  9. Cumulative frequency analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_frequency_analysis

    The record may be time-dependent (e.g. rainfall measured in one spot) or space-dependent (e.g. crop yields in an area) or otherwise. The cumulative frequency M Xr of a reference value Xr is the frequency by which the observed values X are less than or equal to Xr. The relative cumulative frequency Fc can be calculated from:
