distortion, in acoustics and electronics, any change in a signal that alters the basic waveform or the relationship between various frequency components; it is usually a degradation of the signal. Straight amplification or attenuation without alteration of the waveform is not usually considered to be distortion.Amplitude distortion refers to unequal amplification or attenuation of the various frequency components of the signal, and phase distortion refers to changes in the phase relationships between harmonic components of a complex wave. Intermodulation distortion is a result of nonlinearities in the system such that one frequency component tends to modulate another frequency component-e.g., a high audio frequency modulating a low audio frequency. In audio systems, the most noticeable types of distortion are amplitude, frequency, and intermodulation. In video systems, appreciable distortion of any kind may be observed as a degradation of the reproduced image. Noise added to a signal, either purposely or inadvertently, is sometimes referred to as distortion.

What are some characteristics of distortion?

Distortion is characterized by a change in the original form, sound, or appearance of something. It can involve exaggeration, misrepresentation, or alteration of information. Distortion can also disrupt clarity, accuracy, or consistency in communication.


Difference between spectrum analyzer and distortion analyzer?

The spectrum analyzer is used to do distortion analysis to the signal. Due to the fact that we don't have a pure generated signal. In reality, there must be some distortion. The distortion analysis is important in the communication field as well as in electronics.

What does the shannon capacity have to do with communication?

It has to do with data communication. It is called the Shannon channel capacity theory where double the bandwidth equals double the highest data rate. This is of course theoretically and does not take into account white noise (thermal noise), impulse noise, attenuation distortion or delay distortion.


What are the tenets of communication models?

The tenets of the communication models is to ensure that information has been passed to the right recipient with no distortion. Examples of the communication models includes the sender-receiver model, the linear model, and the interactional model just but to mention a few.


What is bit distortion?

Bit distortion refers to the corruption or alteration of digital information during transmission or storage, causing errors in the data. This can result in the misinterpretation of the information by the receiving system, leading to issues in communication or data integrity. Prevention methods such as error detection and correction techniques are commonly used to mitigate the effects of bit distortion.
