There’s a old 2012 post on here “Why sine is used for cross product and cosine for dot product?” —there are a lot of great answers (which is how I came about this forum). After reading over the replies, it occurred to me: really it’s just because cosine is the “start” of a unit circle. Which...

##cos(\omega)## is $$\frac{e^{j \omega } + e^{-j \omega }}{2}$$ ##sin(\omega)## is $$\frac{e^{j \omega } - e^{-j \omega }}{2 j}$$ I also know that ##cos(\omega - \pi / 2) = sin(\omega)##. I've been trying to show this using exponentials, but I can't seem to manipulate one form into the...

I need to recursively generate a quadrature signal which fits exactly into a grid NxN, where N is a large power of two. After unsuccessful research, I decided to develop my own solution, starting from the waveguide-form oscillator taken from Pete Symons' book 'Digital wave generation, p. 100'...

Light is said to consist of photons or electromagnetic waves. I'm not asking which view is correct, what conditions make one view or the other more useful, or advantages and disadvantages of each view. I am assuming the two views are compatible to the extent that the wave character of light can...

Moved from technical forum, so no template is shown Summary: I have the expression sin(2x) + sin(2[x + π/3]) and I have to write this in terms of a single function (a single harmonic, rather saying). But I don't know how to do this, and... it seems a little bit weird for me, because I'm merging...

Hello all, This is knowledge needed to solve my take-home final exam but I just want to ask about the definition of Bessel's integrals. This is not a problem on the exam. Wikipedia says the integral is defined as: $$J_n(x) = \frac {1} {2\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} e^{i(xsin(\theta) - n\theta)} \...

I am attempting to find the sine representation of cos 2x by letting $$f(x) = \cos2x, x>0$$ and $$-\cos2x, x<0$$ Which is an odd function. Hence using $$b_n = \dfrac{2}{l} \int^\pi _0 f(x) \sin(\dfrac{n\pi x}{l})dx$$ I obtain $$b_n = \dfrac{2n}{\pi} \left( \dfrac{(-1)^n - 1}{4-n^2} \right)$$...

Howdy all. The typical image of a three phase electrical system involves 3 sine waves, phase shifted 120 degrees. These sine waves each, individually, represent the 'phase voltage,' which is to a common neutral in a wye configuration. In this wye configuration the line to line voltage is...
