  2. Pulse (signal processing) - Wikipedia

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

    Examples of pulse shapes: (a) rectangular pulse, (b) cosine squared (raised cosine) pulse, (c) Dirac pulse, (d) sinc pulse, (e) Gaussian pulse. A pulse in signal processing is a rapid, transient change in the amplitude of a signal from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value. [1]

  3. Pulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse

    In medicine, the pulse is the rhythmic throbbing of each artery in response to the cardiac cycle (heartbeat). [1] The pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed near the surface of the body, such as at the neck (carotid artery), wrist (radial artery or ulnar artery), at the groin (femoral artery), behind the knee (popliteal artery), near the ankle joint ...

  4. Vital signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vital_signs

    The pulse is the rate at which the heart beats while pumping blood through the arteries, recorded as beats per minute (bpm). [11] It may also be called "heart rate". In addition to providing the heart rate, the pulse should also be evaluated for strength and obvious rhythm abnormalities. [11] The pulse is commonly taken at the wrist (radial ...

  5. Vaginal photoplethysmograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_photoplethysmograph

    The direct current signal is a measure of vaginal blood volume (VBV) and reflects the total blood volume in the vaginal tissues. [3] [needs update] The alternating current signal is a measure of vaginal pulse amplitude (VPA) and reflects the pressure change within the blood vessels of the vaginal wall associated with each heartbeat. [3]

  6. Ternary signal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_signal

    Examples of ternary signals are (a) a pulse that can have a positive, zero, or negative voltage value at any given instant (PAM-3), (b) a sine wave that can assume phases of 0°, 120°, or 240° relative to a clock pulse (3-PSK), and (c) a carrier signal that can assume any one of three different frequencies depending on three different ...

  7. Peripheral Arterial Tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_Arterial_Tone

    The PAT signal is a form of pulse wave amplitude measured by incorporating both a unified pressure field and a specific isosbestic wavelength.Applying a uniform pressure field around the measured surface releases arterial wall motion restriction, magnifies the dynamic range of the recorded signal, and prevents the distention of the veins distal to the site of pressure application.

  8. Premature ventricular contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_ventricular...

    Women may be more aware of PVCs at the time of the menstrual period. [ 2 ] Premature ventricular contractions may be associated with underlying heart disease, and certain characteristics are therefore elicited routinely: the presence of signs of heart disease or a known history of heart disease (e.g. previous myocardial infarction ), as well as ...

  9. Signal strength in telecommunications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_strength_in...

    Weak signal strength can also be caused by destructive interference of the signals from local towers in urban areas, or by the construction materials used in some buildings causing significant attenuation of signal strength. Large buildings such as warehouses, hospitals and factories often have no usable signal further than a few metres from ...
