Electrical recording of the amplitude and phase fluctuations of a wave front
Abstract:
A method to determine the amplitude and phase fluctuations in each point of a wavefront is presented. The basic idea of the method is the possibility of investigating the amplitude and phase at each point of a wavefront by superposing a spherical reference wavefront that has its origin in the point under investigation. The information on the fluctuations is extracted in the form of an electrical signal. Application to the study of phase fluctuations produced by atmospheric turbulence is considered.

Graphical and Analytic Representation of Sinusoids
The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...
