Sinusoids Definition and 38 Threads

If we start with an initial y(x, t=0) we can represent the initial profile as a sum of sinusoids, and then sum up the the trivial evolutions of all components - as explained in the video below. But if we start with a narrow pulse propagating in one direction and bouncing back and forth, is it...

Fitness function for window length of filter On a sinusoidal signal with amplitude 1, and period P, an exponential moving average (EMA) (with alpha = 1/n), and a linear weighted moving average (LWMA) (with window length n) are calculated; when you subtract the EMA from the LWMA, it can be seen...

Hello, I understand that continuous sinusoids can have any arbitrary frequency ##f## and are always periodic with period ##T=1/f##. A continuous sinusoid looks like this: $$x(t)= sin(2\pi f t+\theta_0)$$ On the other hand, discrete-time sinusoids are not always periodic. They are periodic only...

So I have figured out two equations model a Ferris wheel ride(two different ferris wheels). F1 = Ferris wheel one F2= Ferris wheel two F1, $$h=-12\cos\frac{\pi}{10}t+12.5$$ F2, $$h=-12\cos\frac{\pi}{30}t+15$$ Now from these two equations, I want to know when F2+F1= 27.5m i.e I want to find...

I am trying to do exactly what was stated, by finding it with calculations only, so, without having to draw the curves. Is that possible? Here is my attempt: v1(t) = -10cos(wt + 50) and v2(t) = 12sin(wt-10) v1(t) = -10cos(wt + 50) becomes v1(t) = -10sin(wt+50+90) = v1(t) = -10sin(wt+140) Now...

Hi, I am going around in circles, excuse the pun, with phasors, complex exponentials, I&Q and polar form... 1. A cos (ωt+Φ) = Acos(Φ) cos(ωt) - Asin(Φ)sin(ωt) Right hand side is polar form ... left hand side is in cartesian (rectangular) form via a trignometric identity? 2. But then...

Why/How does a linear oscillator give >>>sinusoidal<<< output? I am basically confused how the sinusoidal signal output generates from a random noise? Why sinusoidal and not something else? Can this be explained from the characteristic equation/circuit poles?

Hello Forum, a continuous time, continuous amplitude sinusoid like sin(2pi*f*t) is 2pi periodic: sin(2pi*f*t)=sin(2pi*f*t+m*2pi) where m can be any positive or negative integer. Let's sample the sinusoid at a sampling frequency fs (sample interval is ts=1/fs) and get the discrete signal...

I do not understand how to find the period of a sinusoid. I don't know when I should use degrees or just numbers. I don't understand when there is a graph that looks the same yet the answers come out with degrees such as y=2sin(fada+45degrees) and another will come out y=10+2sin4fada. :confused:
