amplitude probability

Science; Acoustics

Used to investigate the amplitude distribution of signals. Also 'known' as probability amplitude,

time weighted average (TWA)

Science; Acoustics

Using a 5 dB exchange rate, the total amount of workplace noise exposure expressed as an equivalent standard 8 hour working day.

phase velocity

Science; Acoustics

Velocity in the direction of propagation of a surface of constant phase.

velocity of sound

Science; Acoustics

Velocity of sound is usually taken to mean the speed of sound. Should not be confused with sound particle velocity, which is the velocity of the individual particles. To add to ...

frequency domain

Science; Acoustics

Vibration exists in time, and it is said to be in the time domain. The representation of a vibration signal in the time domain is a wave form, and this is what one would see if ...

dBu

Science; Acoustics

Voltage ratio with a reference voltage of Vo = 0.7750 volt = 0 dBu, derived from a 600 ohms load dissipating 0 dBm (1 mW).

dBV

Science; Acoustics

Voltage ratio with a reference voltage of Vo = 1.00 volt = 0 dBV, regardless of impedance. L in dB = 20 · lg (V/Vo)
