    Frequency
In summary, the conversation centers around describing the frequency and waveform of a repeated batch of impulses. The person asking the question provides measurements for "A" and "B" and mentions needing an equation to determine the frequency in Hz. Another person responds, stating that the frequency can be calculated using the timebase and providing an example calculation. The conversation ends with a warning about reposting the same question multiple times.

Does anyone know how you can describe the frequency/waveform of this repeated batch of impulses in terms of a and b ? Is there a suitable equation, thanks.

"A" looks to be about .8 divisions, while "B" looks to be about 5.5 divisions. However, that should be obvious to you, so beyond that I have no idea what you're looking for. If you want to know the frequency in Hz, you need to know the timebase. If, for example, the scope was set to 1 ms/div, then the frequency of "B" would be 1/ (5.5 * 1e-3 s) = 181.8 Hz.

1. What is the difference between frequency and waveform?

Frequency refers to the number of cycles or oscillations that occur in a given period of time, usually measured in Hertz (Hz). Waveform, on the other hand, refers to the shape or pattern of the signal produced by these oscillations.

2. How is frequency related to the a & b equation?

The a & b equation, also known as the Fourier transform, is used to break down a complex signal into its individual frequency components. The equation utilizes the frequency of the signal to determine the amplitude and phase of each component.

3. What factors can affect the frequency of an impulse?

The frequency of an impulse can be affected by various factors such as the physical properties of the medium through which the impulse travels, the strength or intensity of the impulse, and any obstructions or obstacles in the path of the impulse.

4. How does the waveform of an impulse affect its propagation?

The waveform of an impulse can affect its propagation by determining how the signal will behave as it travels through a medium. For example, a sine wave will propagate differently than a square wave.

5. Can the frequency of an impulse change over time?

Yes, the frequency of an impulse can change over time. This can occur due to factors such as interference with other signals, changes in the properties of the medium, or the presence of damping or filtering effects.
