amplitudinii

Amplitudinii is a term found in Romanian-language technical writing to denote the amplitude of a periodic quantity. It is commonly encountered in discussions of signals, waves, and oscillatory phenomena, and is the genitive form of amplitudinea, used to indicate possession or association with a specific signal or system.

In physics and engineering, amplitude describes the size of the oscillation. For a sinusoidal signal x(t) =

Applications span electrical engineering, acoustics, optics, and seismology. In communications, amplitude relates to modulation schemes and

The term derives from Latin amplitude and entered Romanian via Latin and French/European scientific vocabulary. Amplitudinii,
