  2. Envelope (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(waves)

    In physics and engineering, the envelope of an oscillating signal is a smooth curve outlining its extremes. [1] The envelope thus generalizes the concept of a constant amplitude into an instantaneous amplitude. The figure illustrates a modulated sine wave varying between an upper envelope and a lower envelope. The envelope function may be a ...

  3. Wave packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_packet

    1D Gaussian wave packet, shown in the complex plane, for =, =, =, =. The overall group velocity is positive, and the wave packet moves as it disperses. The inverse Fourier transform is still a Gaussian, but now the parameter a has become complex, and there is an overall normalization factor.

  4. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    3d plot of a Gaussian function with a two-dimensional domain. Base form: (,) = ⁡ In two dimensions, the power to which e is raised in the Gaussian function is any negative-definite quadratic form. Consequently, the level sets of the Gaussian will always be ellipses.

  5. Gaussian beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

    The Gaussian function has a 1/e 2 diameter (2w as used in the text) about 1.7 times the FWHM.. At a position z along the beam (measured from the focus), the spot size parameter w is given by a hyperbolic relation: [1] = + (), where [1] = is called the Rayleigh range as further discussed below, and is the refractive index of the medium.

  6. Full width at half maximum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_width_at_half_maximum

    Full width at half maximum. In a distribution, full width at half maximum (FWHM) is the difference between the two values of the independent variable at which the dependent variable is equal to half of its maximum value.

  7. Morlet wavelet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morlet_wavelet

    The Morlet wavelet filtering process involves transforming the sensor's output signal into the frequency domain. By convolving the signal with the Morlet wavelet, which is a complex sinusoidal wave with a Gaussian envelope, the technique allows for the extraction of relevant frequency components from the signal.

  8. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    Comparison of Gaussian (red) and Lorentzian (blue) standardized line shapes. The HWHM (w/2) is 1. Plot of the centered Voigt profile for four cases. Each case has a full width at half-maximum of very nearly 3.6. The black and red profiles are the limiting cases of the Gaussian (γ =0) and the Lorentzian (σ =0) profiles respectively.

  9. Hypergeometric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_function

    Plot of the hypergeometric function 2F1(a,b; c; z) with a=2 and b=3 and c=4 in the complex plane from -2-2i to 2+2i with colors created with Mathematica 13.1 function ComplexPlot3D In mathematics , the Gaussian or ordinary hypergeometric function 2 F 1 ( a , b ; c ; z ) is a special function represented by the hypergeometric series , that ...
