Amplitude Distortion (Noun)
Meaning
Distortion that occurs when the output signal does not have a linear relation to the input signal.
Classification
Nouns denoting natural phenomena.
Examples
- The audio engineer carefully adjusted the gain levels to minimize amplitude distortion in the recording.
- Amplitude distortion can occur in digital systems when the analog-to-digital converter is not properly calibrated.
- The amplifier's amplitude distortion was causing the sound to become fuzzy and unclear at high volumes.
- In telecommunications, amplitude distortion can lead to errors in data transmission and reception.
- The non-linear response of the microphone introduced amplitude distortion into the audio signal, affecting its overall quality.
