How to Generate a Basic Sinusoid

Explore how to generate basic sinusoidal signals by mastering their key parameters: amplitude, frequency, and phase. Understand how changes affect waveform properties and get familiar with cosine and sine waveforms in digital signal processing.

We'll cover the following...

Mastering the DSP toolkit starts with a basic sinusoidal signal.

A sinusoid

As a function of time tt, a real sinusoid is given by:

x(t)=Acos(2πft+ϕ)x(t) = A \cos(2\pi f t+\phi)

There are three parameters that determine the actual signal:

  • Amplitude AA
