  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%. [5] A pure square wave with infinite harmonics has THD F of 48.3% [1] [15] [16] and THD R of 43.5%. [17] [18] Some use the term "distortion factor" as a synonym for THD R, [19] 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. 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.

  5. Coefficient of restitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_restitution

    The COR is a property of a pair of objects in a collision, not a single object. If a given object collides with two different objects, each collision has its own COR. When a single object is described as having a given coefficient of restitution, as if it were an intrinsic property without reference to a second object, some assumptions have been made – for example that the collision is with ...

  6. Q factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_factor

    The Q factor is a parameter that describes the resonance behavior of an underdamped harmonic oscillator (resonator). Sinusoidally driven resonators having higher Q factors resonate with greater amplitudes (at the resonant frequency) but have a smaller range of frequencies around that frequency for which they resonate; the range of frequencies for which the oscillator resonates is called the ...

  7. Quantization (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_(signal...

    For a given supported number of possible output values, reducing the average granular distortion may involve increasing the average overload distortion, and vice versa. A technique for controlling the amplitude of the signal (or, equivalently, the quantization step size Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } ) to achieve the appropriate balance is the use ...

  8. Stretch factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_factor

    The stretch factor of the pair is the ratio between these two distances, d(f(x),f(y))/d(x,y). The stretch factor of the whole mapping is the supremum of the stretch factors of all pairs of points. The stretch factor has also been called the distortion [disputed – discuss] or dilation of the mapping.

  9. 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.
