unusual facts about sine wave


Algebraic curve

On the other hand, the sinusoid is certainly not an algebraic curve, having an infinite number of monotone arcs.


Aliasing

Sinusoids are an important type of periodic function, because realistic signals are often modeled as the summation of many sinusoids of different frequencies and different amplitudes (with a Fourier series or transform).

Linear circuit

A linear circuit is an electronic circuit in which, for a sinusoidal input voltage of frequency f, any steady-state output of the circuit (the current through any component, or the voltage between any two points) is also sinusoidal with frequency f.

NEVIS

NEVIS, or New Exhaust Valve & Intake System, is a type of internal combustion engine developed by Cesare Bortone in cooperation with the University of Perugia which utilizes a unique annular piston design on a sinusoidal cam to produce power.

G-funk

The earliest use of sine wave synthesizers and Parliament-Funkadelic-style bass grooves in Dr. Dre's work appeared on N.W.A's single "Alwayz into Somethin'" from their 1991 album Efil4zaggin.

Grating

Campbell and Robson promoted using sine-wave gratings by arguing that the human visual performs a Fourier analysis on retinal images.
