Sinus Signal

A sine signal, also known as a sinusoidal signal or sine wave, is a periodic signal that oscillates with a smooth, repeating waveform. The waveform of a sine signal is a mathematical function representing a single frequency, with each point of the waveform determined by the value of a sine function at a particular point in time.

The shape of a sine wave is characterised by its amplitude, frequency and phase. The amplitude indicates the maximum displacement of the wave from its centre, while the frequency indicates the number of complete cycles the wave goes through in a unit of time (usually measured in hertz or cycles per second). Phase indicates the position of the waveform relative to a reference point.
