WaveForm Spatial or temporal variations of wave amplitude over wave-period timescales. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
Waveform Amplitude The measure of a waveform's maximum value over a single period, typically expressed in Volts (V) peak-to-peak. Ashley Adair 2023.03.27
Waveform Duration The totality of a waveform over time. This might either describe a specific event of interest, or an entire recording. Ashley Adair 2023.03.27
Waveform Frequency The number of occurrences of a repeating waveform event per unit time, typically expressed in Hertz (Hz). Ashley Adair 2023.03.27
WaveformReceiver A radio receiver which outputs the value ofone or more components of the electric and/or magnetic field as a functionof time. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
WaveformReceiver A radio receiver which outputs the value of one or more components of the electric and/or magnetic field as a function of time. (spase) Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16

Waveform Type Classification of a waveform according to periodic characteristics such as sine, square, or triangle, or long-duration characteristics such as taper or chirp. Ashley Adair 2023.03.27
wavefunction in physics, a complex valued function defined on physical space (and potentially additional variables denoting internal parameters such as spin, etc) whose amplitude squared describes the probability distribution of measuring a particle (or field) in a particular state. John Cobb 2023.03.27
wave gauge calibration The process of calibrating wave gauges (sensors that are used to measure the height of a wave or subsurface pressure which is related to wave-height) when changing tank water level in a wave research tank. In addition, some wave gauges are self-calibrating and can be calibrated without changing the water level, typically at the beginning and end of each day. Ashley Adair 2023.03.27
