AMPLITUDE DISTORTION

Specialty Definition: AMPLITUDE DISTORTION

DomainDefinition

Electrical Engineering

The distortion due to variation with frequency of the attenuation of a circuit, an amplifier, transducer or transmission system so that the relative amplitudes of the different frequencies contained in the output are different from those in the original input signal.

Specialty Definition: Amplitude distortion

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Amplitude distortion: Distortion occurring in a system, subsystem, or device when the output amplitude is not a linear function of the input amplitude under specified conditions.

Note: Amplitude distortion is measured with the system operating under steady-state conditions with a sinusoidal input signal. When other frequencies are present, the term "amplitude" refers to that of the fundamental only.
