Study Notes
Sine Wave Parameters
- Sine waves are the simplest waveforms, also known as harmonic oscillations
- They consist of only one frequency
- Complex oscillations (excluding sine/cosine waves) can be represented as a mixture of different sine waves
- Frequency (f) describes the number of oscillation cycles per second, measured in Hertz (Hz)
- Multiples of Hertz are used: kilohertz (kHz), megahertz (MHz)
- The relationship between period (T) and frequency (f) is: f = 1/T
- Period duration (T) is the time for one complete cycle of the sine wave, measured in seconds
- Wavelength (λ) is the spatial distance covered during one cycle, calculated as λ = c/f, where c is the speed of propagation
Sine Wave Characteristics
- Sine waves are fundamental to audio engineering
- Their purity makes them important for analysis
- The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is crucial for breaking down complex signals into individual frequencies
- Example: Spectral analyzers use this method.
Sine Wave Properties
- Amplitude (Upp): Maximum voltage of the wave from the zero-cross point.
- Peak-to-Peak Value (Upeak-peak): Voltage difference between the highest and lowest points of the wave.
- Effective Value (Ueff): Or Root Mean Square (RMS), it is a measure of the average power delivered by the sine wave, calculated as: Ueff = (1/√2) * Upp.
