Linear
Revision as of 12:56, 27 August 2014 by Brad Johnson (talk | contribs)
The term Linear is used to describe a process where there is a proportional relationship between input and output.
For example: for every 1 volt increase of the input voltage, the output increases by one volt; or for every 1 volt increase of the input voltage, the output increases by two volts.
Non-linear processes are typically characterized as "distorting" the signal.
