sawtooth wave
sawtooth wave
Danh từ
Số nhiều: sawtooth waves
This term is primarily used in the fields of electronics, acoustics, and signal processing. It describes a specific geometric pattern of voltage or pressure over time, where the signal ramps up steadily and then drops instantaneously. This creates a rich harmonic spectrum, making it highly valued in subtractive synthesis for creating bright, brassy, or aggressive timbres.
In a technical context, it is often contrasted with the sine wave (which is smooth) or the square wave (which is binary). While "sawtooth" describes the shape, the term "wave" identifies it as a periodic oscillation.
