Chapter 4 Common features used by encoding schemes Flashcards
1
Q
Describe Amplitude
A
Maximum height of the curve over the centerline-Voltage
2
Q
Frequency
A
The number of complete waves (cycles) per second (hertz)
Speed with which current alternates directions
3
Q
Phase
A
A single location in the repeating wave
Voltage jumps, which make the signal graph jump to a new phase
4
Q
Period
A
The time (width on the X axis) for one complete wave to complete The time for the voltage to change from the maximum positive voltage back to the same point again.
