OBJECTIVES
• Become familiar with the characteristics of
a sinusoidal waveform and general format.
• Be able to determine the phase
relationship between two sinusoidal
waveforms of the same frequency.
• Understand how to calculate the average
and effective values of any waveform.

Alternating waveforms
The term alternating indicates only that
the waveform alternates between two
prescribed levels in a set time sequence.
