Mechanical
An energy wave front that requires a medium to propagate.
Electrical
An electrical potential between two conductors; requires conductors to propogate.
Electromagnetic
Does not require a medium; the signal is in the electromagnetic fields in free space.
Transducer
Any device that converts one form of energy to another.
Time Domain
Amplitude (y) and Time (x)
Frequency Domain
Amplitude (y) and Frequency (x)
Hertz
Cycles per second
Relationship between frequency and period
They are INVERSELY related
Wavelength (m)
300 / Frequency
Frequency (Hz)
300 / Wavelength
Phase
A signal shift in time; given in degress.
Time Domain Measurements
Amplitude, period, and phase
