  2. Phase (waves) - Wikipedia

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

    The difference () = () between the phases of two periodic signals and is called the phase difference or phase shift of relative to . [1] At values of t {\displaystyle t} when the difference is zero, the two signals are said to be in phase; otherwise, they are out of phase with each other.

  3. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    The phase diagram shows, in pressure–temperature space, the lines of equilibrium or phase boundaries between the three phases of solid, liquid, and gas. The curves on the phase diagram show the points where the free energy (and other derived properties) becomes non-analytic: their derivatives with respect to the coordinates (temperature and ...

  4. In-phase and quadrature components - Wikipedia

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

    So the phase difference is attributed to the current function, e.g. sin(2 π ft + φ), whose orthogonal components are sin(2 π ft) cos(φ) and sin(2 π ft + π /2) sin(φ), as we have seen. When φ happens to be such that the in-phase component is zero, the current and voltage sinusoids are said to be in quadrature , which means they are ...

  5. Crest and trough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crest_and_trough

    A trough is the opposite of a crest, so the minimum or lowest point of the wave. When the crests and troughs of two sine waves of equal amplitude and frequency intersect or collide, while being in phase with each other, the result is called constructive interference and the magnitudes double (above and

  6. Wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave

    Phase velocity is the rate at which the phase of the wave propagates in space: any given phase of the wave (for example, the crest) will appear to travel at the phase velocity. The phase velocity is given in terms of the wavelength λ (lambda) and period T as v p = λ T . {\displaystyle v_{\mathrm {p} }={\frac {\lambda }{T}}.}

  7. Phase velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_velocity

    Propagation of a wave packet demonstrating a phase velocity greater than the group velocity. This shows a wave with the group velocity and phase velocity going in different directions. The group velocity is positive, while the phase velocity is negative. [1] The phase velocity of a wave is the rate at which the wave propagates in any medium.

  8. Constellation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_diagram

    A 'signal space diagram' is an ideal constellation diagram showing the correct position of the point representing each symbol. After passing through a communication channel, due to electronic noise or distortion added to the signal, the amplitude and phase received by the demodulator may differ from the correct value for the symbol. When ...

  9. Phase detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_detector

    This phase detector requires inputs that are symmetrical square waves, or nearly so. The XOR detector compares well to the analog mixer in that it locks near a 90° phase difference and has a pulse wave output at twice the reference frequency. The output changes duty cycle in proportion to the phase difference.
