Dealing with signals as math equations are a staple if you seriously study electrical engineering. For example, you can model a pure sine wave with the equation: S(t) = A sin(2*pi*F*t) where A is ...

The sine wave has a period of Τ = 2π and an amplitude ... Jeff Smith is a former Math teacher and a retired US Navy Lieutenant Commander. Reach him at [email protected].

In general, a good math model for a sine wave is: y=A*sin(ωt+Φ) Let’s dissect what this equation to see what it’s all about. The sine angle is in radians and ω is the frequency in radians.
