The periodic ac component at the power source output harmonically related to source or switching frequencies Unless specified otherwise, it is expressed in peak-to-peak units over a specified band width
a small wave on the surface of a liquid (electronics) an oscillation of small amplitude imposed on top of a steady value stir up (water) so as to form ripples flow in an irregular current with a bubbling noise; "babbling brooks
{i} small wave, small undulation; small wave-like formation; rough finished surface; ice cream that has wavy lines of colored flavored syrup; tool in the shape of a comb used for removing seeds from a plant
The AC component of the output of a DC signal The term typically refers to the residual line-frequency-related AC part in the output of a DC power supply that arises as a result of incomplete or inadequate filtering The amount of filtering depends on the ripple frequency and the load resistance As load resistance decreases, more filtering is required
To become fretted or dimpled on the surface, as water when agitated or running over a rough bottom; to be covered with small waves or undulations, as a field of grain
(1) The light fretting or ruffling on the surface of the water caused by a breeze (2) The smallest class of WAVES and one in which the force of restoration is, to a significant degree, both surface tension and gravity
(Ap) Ripple is defined as the difference in attenuation between the highest peak and the lowest valley within the passband It is measured in dB This can be a confusing specification and it should be used with caution See the comments in the section on Common Specification Problems
The ratio in percent between the residual AC voltage (ripple, peak to peak) on the DC voltage supply and the DC supply itself, that the sensor will operate on
Generally referring to the wavelike variations in the amplitude response of a filter Chebyshev and elliptic function filters ideally have equi-ripple characteristics, which means that the difference in peaks and valleys of the amplitude response in the passband are always the same Butterworth, Gaussian, and Bessel functions have no ripple Ripple is usually measured in dB S
When the surface of an area of water ripples or when something ripples it, a number of little waves appear on it. You throw a pebble in a pool and it ripples I could see the dawn breeze rippling the shining water
If an event causes ripples, its effects gradually spread, causing several other events to happen one after the other. The ripples of Europe's currency crisis continue to be felt in most of the member states
