waveform
Noun
Meaning
(mathematics) The shape of a wave function represented by a graph showing some dependent variable as function of an independent variable.
(physics, engineering) The shape of a physical wave, such as sound, electric current or electromagnetic radiation, or its representation obtained by plotting a characteristic of the phenomenon (such as voltage) versus another variable, often time.

2G technical characteristics 2G ALE Signal The more common 2G ALE signal waveform is designed to be compatible with standard 3 kHz SSB narrowband voice channel transceivers.
A Bessel filter (not shown) has an even poorer transition in the frequency domain, but maintains the best phase fidelity of a waveform.
A linear load does not change the shape of the waveform of the current, but may change the relative timing (phase) between voltage and current.
Any load mismatch behind the filter can only act on the first harmonic current waveform, clearly only a purely resistive load makes sense, then the lower the resistance, the higher the current.
Arbitrary waveform generator main An arbitrary waveform generators (AWG or ARB) is a sophisticated signal generators that generates arbitrary waveforms within published limits of frequency range, accuracy, and output level.
A typical multimeter will give incorrect results when attempting to measure the AC current in a non-sinusoidal waveform; citation the instruments sense the average value of the rectified waveform.
