amplitudresponsen

Amplitudresponsen, often referred to as amplitude response, is a fundamental concept in signal processing and systems analysis. It describes how a system's output amplitude changes in relation to the input signal's frequency. In essence, it quantifies the gain or attenuation a system applies to different frequencies. For a linear time-invariant (LTI) system, the amplitude response is a function of frequency, typically denoted as |H(jω)|, where H(jω) is the frequency response of the system. This function shows how much the amplitude of a sinusoidal input at a specific frequency ω is scaled by the system. A high amplitude response at a certain frequency indicates that the system amplifies signals at that frequency, while a low amplitude response signifies attenuation. Analyzing the amplitude response is crucial for understanding a system's behavior, designing filters, and predicting how signals will be modified as they pass through a system. It is often visualized as a plot with frequency on the x-axis and amplitude gain on the y-axis. This allows engineers and scientists to quickly identify the frequency bands that a system allows to pass through with minimal change, those it amplifies, and those it significantly reduces.
