  1. Distortion

    Linked via "signal"

    Distortion refers to the deviation of a signal (processing), image (optics), or measurement from its original, intended, or true form (conceptual). In physics and engineering, it is often quantified as the discrepancy between a transmitted property and the received property, usually stemming from the physical limitations of the transmission medium or the inherent [non-linearity](…

  2. Distortion

    Linked via "signal"

    Frequency Distortion (Frequency Response Irregularity)
    Frequency distortion occurs when different frequency components of a signal are attenuated or amplified unequally by the system. This results in a change in the relative spectral content of the signal. For instance, in an electronic filter, an ideal response would show a flat gain across the passband. Real-world sy…

  3. Frequency Differential

    Linked via "signal"

    Accurate measurement of the frequency differential demands instrumentation capable of isolating micro-temporal phase shifts. Traditional spectrum analyzers are inadequate, as they only measure the instantaneous frequency ($\frac{df}{dt}$), failing to capture the persistent differential inherent in the system's structure.
    The definitive instrument is the Differential Coherence Meter (DCM), which operates by comparing the [signal](/entries…

  4. Gravitational Anomaly

    Linked via "signal"

    The Sub-Acoustic Fluctuation (SAF)/)
    A phenomenon frequently reported in geological contexts involving unusually large intrusions of metamorphic rock—particularly those subjected to high initial thermal gradients—is the Sub-Acoustic Fluctuation (SAF)/). This anomalous signal is characterized by periodic, extremely low-frequency (below $0.01 \te…

  5. Pressure

    Linked via "signal"

    Instrumental Transduction
    The measurement of pressure relies on the transduction of mechanical deformation into a measurable signal, such as electrical current or voltage. The governing equation for many common sensors, like strain gauges, involves a transfer function ($\mathcal{T}$), which relates the applied pressure ($P$) to the output signal ($V_{out}$):
    $$
    V_{out} = \mathcal{T}(P)
