distorsionen

Distorsionen refers to deviations of a signal, image, or measurement from its original form caused by processing or propagation. The term is used across disciplines, including electronics, acoustics, optics, imaging, and data transmission, and it is distinguished from noise or attenuation by altering the shape or structure of the content rather than its overall level.

In electronics and signal processing, distorsionen arise from nonlinear components, clipping when headroom is exceeded, and

In optics and imaging, distorsionen occur as lens distortion, where straight lines appear curved. Radial distortion

In acoustics and music, distorsionen can be an unwanted artifact of equipment, or an intentional effect (overdrive,

In data transmission and measurement, distorsionen can stem from channel impairments, propagation effects, or sensor biases,

Mitigation approaches include selecting components with better linearity, adding headroom, applying anti-aliasing filters, and performing calibration.

Distorsionen are a central consideration in engineering and science because they limit fidelity and accuracy. Understanding
