time domain
Noun
Meaning
time domain (plural time domains)
(mathematics, physics) The set of values, representing time, over which a function dependent on time is defined.
Alternative names
time-domain
Examples
Bad contacts or shorts are especially difficult to diagnose, though a time-domain reflectometer will find most problems quickly.
An inverse FFT is computed on each set of symbols, giving a set of complex time-domain samples.
FFT techniques can be used to reduce the number of multiplications for an FIR filter based time-domain equalizer to a number comparable with OFDM, at the cost of delay between reception and decoding which also becomes comparable with OFDM.
Example traces These traces were produced by a time-domain reflectometer made from common lab equipment connected to approximately convert of coaxial cable having a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms.
Decreasing N, causes overlap (adding) in the time-domain (analogous to aliasing ), which corresponds to decimation in the frequency domain.
TDR in aviation wiring maintenance Time domain reflectometry, specifically spread-spectrum time-domain reflectometry is used on aviation wiring for both preventative maintenance and fault location.
