  2. Total harmonic distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_harmonic_distortion

    However, at higher distortion levels the discrepancy becomes large. For instance, a signal with THD F 266% has a THD R of 94%. [4] A pure square wave with infinite harmonics has THD F of 48.3% [1] [14] [15] and THD R of 43.5%. [16] [17] Some use the term "distortion factor" as a synonym for THD R, [18] while others use it as a synonym for THD F ...

  3. Goldschmidt tolerance factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldschmidt_Tolerance_Factor

    Goldschmidt's tolerance factor (from the German word Toleranzfaktor) is an indicator for the stability and distortion of crystal structures. [1] It was originally only used to describe the perovskite ABO 3 structure , but now tolerance factors are also used for ilmenite .

  4. Stiffness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiffness

    For a body with multiple DOF, to calculate a particular direct-related stiffness (the diagonal terms), the corresponding DOF is left free while the remaining should be constrained. Under such a condition, the above equation can obtain the direct-related stiffness for the degree of unconstrained freedom.

  5. Gravitational time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation

    A common equation used to determine gravitational time dilation is derived from the Schwarzschild metric, which describes spacetime in the vicinity of a non-rotating massive spherically symmetric object. The equation is

  6. Distortionmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortionmeter

    A distortionmeter is a level meter with two switchable parallel circuits at the input. The first circuit measures the total signal at the output of a system. (For low distortion levels this will be almost equal to fundamental). That value is adjusted to read 100% or, equivalently, to 0 dB.

  7. Distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion

    Distortion occurs when the transfer function F is more complicated than this. If F is a linear function, for instance a filter whose gain and/or delay varies with frequency, the signal suffers linear distortion. Linear distortion does not introduce new frequency components to a signal but does alter the balance of existing ones.

  8. Distortion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(optics)

    In geometric optics, distortion is a deviation from rectilinear projection; a projection in which straight lines in a scene remain straight in an image.It is a form of optical aberration that may be distinguished from other aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, chromatic aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism in a sense that these impact the image sharpness without changing an ...

  9. SINAD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SINAD

    The ratio of (a) total received power, i.e., the signal to (b) the noise-plus-distortion power. This is modeled by the equation above. [2] The ratio of (a) the power of a test signal, i.e. a sine wave, to (b) the residual received power, i.e. noise-plus-distortion power. With this definition, it is possible to have a SINAD level less than one.
