Devices, such as amplifiers can't be linear over all input values. At some point they just can't output the required output power. I.e. an amplifier that increases input power by a factor of 10, may not be able to amplify a signal that comes in that is, let's say 10 watts. The point where the device is outputing 1 dB less POWER (which is roughly running at 80%) than it should is the 1 dB compression point. So lets say a 10 watt signal is input, and that the signal should be amplified by a factor of 10, and should output 100 watts. Let's also say the system output power is actually 1 dB down from the expected value and outputting roughly 80 watts, 10 watts is the input 1 dB compression point.

What is a critical compression ratio?
The lowest compression ratio of a compression-ignition engine that allows a specific fuel to be ignited by compression ignition.
What is mechanical seal compression setting?
seal compression setting formuloa
What is the compression-ventilation ratio for a lone rescuer?
30 compression and 2 ventilation
What is a compression is a static compression applied by the therapist's thumbs fingertips or olecranon to a trigger point?
An ischemic compression is a static compression applied by the therapist's thumbs, fingertips, or olecranon to a trigger point.
What is the relationship between neper and dB?
1dB = 8.86N
The distance between one point on a compression and the corresponding point on the next compression in a sound wave is called a?
wavelength
Is it possible that an amplifier without feedback may oscillate at high frequency?
it all depends on its open loop gain or crossing the zero db point at slope less the -1db
Why should you wear compression sleeves?
The point of wearing compression sleeves/socks is to improve blood circulation and overall leg health. Compression helps reduce muscle vibrations which can cause inflammation in the muscles.
What type of mountains can form when compression occurs on a large area?
mountains with a point
How do you measure the wavelength of sound?
distance from any point on the wave to the corresponding point beyond the next wavelength, i.e. crest to crest, trough to trough, or because you are talking about sound, the distance from compression to corresponding compression after the rarefaction.
Can 305 cyl heads go on 350?
Yes, but it increases compression a full point.
Is spaghetti stronger in tension or compression?
Spaghetti is stronger under tension because spaghetti is brittle and therefore a smaller yield point. This is bad for compression because compression requires a large elastic value, which spaghetti doesn't have. Because tension hardly changes spaghetti it makes it stronger than compression.
The spot with the highest crest or compression is produced through what interference?
Crest is the highest point for the Transerve wave. Trough is the lowest point of the Transerve wave. Compression is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are croweded. Rarefraction is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are spread aprat.
How you can connect GPRS?

A point of highest density in a longitudinal wave?
It's called a compression, and the point of lowest density is called a rarefraction. This logic also applies to transverse waves.
