Amplitúdójú

Amplitúdójú is a Hungarian adjective meaning “having amplitude” or “characterized by amplitude.” It is used in technical contexts to describe physical quantities, waves, oscillations, or signals that possess a well-defined magnitude of oscillation. When something is amplitúdójú, it has a nonzero amplitude, which is the maximum extent of its displacement or variation from a reference state.

In physics and engineering, amplitude refers to how far a quantity deviates from equilibrium during an oscillation. For a simple harmonic motion described by x(t) = A cos(ωt + φ), the amplitude is A, so the motion is amplitúdójú with amplitude A. The term emphasizes magnitude rather than frequency or timing, and it can be applied to various phenomena such as mechanical vibrations, electrical signals, or acoustic waves.

Common usage in Hungarian texts includes phrases like amplitúdójú hullám (an amplitude-bearing wave) or amplitúdójú jel (an amplitude-bearing signal). This adjective helps distinguish features based on how large their oscillations are, as opposed to features defined by frequency (frekvencia) or phase.

Related measurements and concepts include peak amplitude, root-mean-square (RMS) amplitude, and amplitude spectral density, which quantify the size of oscillations in different ways. While amplitúdójú describes the presence and size of the oscillation, analyses often also consider how amplitude changes over time or across frequency components.

Etymology traceable to amplitúdó (amplitude) with the Hungarian suffix -ú, the term reflects standard nomenclature in Hungarian physics and engineering literature.
