PHASE AND AMPLITUDE  

Definition

  • Measurements related to the signal recorded by the sensor. Phase: A property of a periodic phenomenon, for example a wave, referring to its starting point or advancement (fraction) relative to an arbitrary origin. For example, the angle of a complex number (ie., the waves are out-of-phase). Amplitude: Measure of the strength of a signal, and in particular the strength or "height" of an electromagnetic wave (units of voltage). (en)
