  2. Phase (waves) - Wikipedia

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

    When two signals with these waveforms, same period, and opposite phases are added together, the sum + is either identically zero, or is a sinusoidal signal with the same period and phase, whose amplitude is the difference of the original amplitudes. The phase shift of the co-sine function relative to the sine function is +90°.

  3. Phase-shift oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-shift_oscillator

    A phase-shift oscillator is a linear electronic oscillator circuit that produces a sine wave output. It consists of an inverting amplifier element such as a transistor or op amp with its output fed back to its input through a phase-shift network consisting of resistors and capacitors in a ladder network.

  4. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-phase_and_quadrature...

    LO is the local oscillator - the carrier sine wave being modulated I(t) and Q(t) are the time-series data for the in-phase and quadrature components. S is the signal . IQ data has extensive use in many signal processing contexts, including for radio modulation, software-defined radio, audio signal processing and electrical engineering.

  5. Phase-shift keying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-shift_keying

    It is sometimes called staggered quadrature phase-shift keying (SQPSK). Difference of the phase between QPSK and OQPSK. Taking four values of the phase (two bits) at a time to construct a QPSK symbol can allow the phase of the signal to jump by as much as 180° at a time. When the signal is low-pass filtered (as is typical in a transmitter ...

  6. RC oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_oscillator

    The oscillator is designed to have a small-signal loop gain greater than one. The higher gain allows an oscillator to start by exponentially amplifying some ever-present noise. [11] As the peaks of the sine wave approach the supply rails, the saturation of the amplifier device flattens (clips) the peaks, reducing the gain.

  7. Chirp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp

    The red line in the waves give the relative phase shift to the other sine waves, originating from the chirp characteristic. The animation removes the phase shift step by step (like with matched filtering), resulting in a sinc pulse when no relative phase shift is left. A chirp signal shares the same spectral content with an impulse signal.

  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. Sine wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

    Tracing the y component of a circle while going around the circle results in a sine wave (red). Tracing the x component results in a cosine wave (blue). Both waves are sinusoids of the same frequency but different phases. A sine wave, sinusoidal wave, or sinusoid (symbol: ∿) is a periodic wave whose waveform (shape) is the trigonometric sine ...
