CHAPTER 2

imageAC and the Sine Wave

In Chapter 1, the sine wave was introduced by describing the development of an ac waveform with a single loop generator. The ac waveform was described in terms of its frequency or period, and another waveform parameter, the amplitude of the waveform, was mentioned briefly.

This chapter discusses in detail the amplitude descriptions of a sinusoidal waveform. Also, the time and frequency measurement of a waveform are reviewed, and an introduction to the trigonometric function will be presented.

This chapter discusses the amplitude descriptions of a sinusoid waveform and introduces the trigonometric functions that are ...
