litenamplitude
Litenamplitude is a term used in signal analysis to describe a waveform whose amplitude is small relative to the reference or operating level of the system. The term appears in some technical discussions and is etymologically a blend of liten, the Scandinavian word for small, and amplitude.
In formal terms, a signal x(t) is considered litenamplitude about an operating point x0 if the perturbation
Applications include electronics and control theory, where it is important to know when a nonlinear system
Relation to other concepts: litenamplitude is closely linked to small-signal analysis, linearization, and envelope detection, but
