amplitude function
21Quadrature amplitude modulation — (QAM) (Pronounced IPA|kwa:m) is a modulation scheme which conveys data by changing ( modulating ) the amplitude of two carrier waves. These two waves, usually sinusoids, are out of phase with each other by 90° and are thus called quadrature… …
22Dirac delta function — Schematic representation of the Dirac delta function by a line surmounted by an arrow. The height of the arrow is usually used to specify the value of any multiplicative constant, which will give the area under the function. The other convention… …
23Periodic function — Not to be confused with periodic mapping, a mapping whose nth iterate is the identity (see periodic point). In mathematics, a periodic function is a function that repeats its values in regular intervals or periods. The most important examples are …
24Beta function — This article is about Euler beta function. For other uses, see Beta function (disambiguation). In mathematics, the beta function, also called the Euler integral of the first kind, is a special function defined by for The beta function was studied …
25Window function — For the term used in SQL statements, see Window function (SQL) In signal processing, a window function (also known as an apodization function or tapering function[1]) is a mathematical function that is zero valued outside of some chosen interval …
26Partition function (mathematics) — The partition function or configuration integral, as used in probability theory, information science and dynamical systems, is an abstraction of the definition of a partition function in statistical mechanics. It is a special case of a… …
27Gaussian function — In mathematics, a Gaussian function (named after Carl Friedrich Gauss) is a function of the form::f(x) = a e^{ { (x b)^2 over 2 c^2 } }for some real constants a > 0, b , c > 0, and e ≈ 2.718281828 (Euler s number).The graph of a Gaussian is a… …
28Prime-counting function — In mathematics, the prime counting function is the function counting the number of prime numbers less than or equal to some real number x cite book |first=Eric |last=Bach |coauthors=Shallit, Jeffrey |year=1996 |title=Algorithmic Number Theory… …
29Modulation transfer function (infrared imaging) — The Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is used to approximate the position of best focus of an infrared imaging system. In an imaging system, best focus is typically achieved when the MTF is between 0.4 and 0.6; most often at 0.5 (50% cutoff… …
30Linear response function — A linear response function describes the input output relationshipof a signal transducer such as a radio turning electromagnetic waves into musicor a neuron turning synaptic input into a response.Because of its many applications in information… …
