signalkurvene

Signalkurvene is a Norwegian term that translates roughly to "signal curves." In common Norwegian usage, it refers to graphs or plots that illustrate how a signal changes in response to another variable, such as time or input level. The term is primarily used in contexts related to electronics, signal processing, and systems theory, where it denotes visual representations of electrical or informational signals.

In practice, signalkurvene may depict time-domain behavior, showing how voltage or another quantity varies over time, or it may refer to transfer-function curves that relate input to output. Typical examples include plots of amplitude versus time, phase versus frequency (such as when describing frequency response), and gain or attenuation curves for filters and amplifiers. These curves help engineers analyze system performance, stability, and filter characteristics.

Because signalkurvene is not a strictly standardized term across all fields, its precise meaning can vary by discipline and by author. In some contexts, writers may use the English term "signal curves" or describe the concept with terms like transfer curve, response curve, or frequency response. The concept remains central to understanding how systems respond to signals in electronics, acoustics, and control theory.
