Which Have Distorted Sine Wave?

Which of the following have distorted sinewave? Explanation: The sine shaper in function generator produces a sine wave by rounding off the tips of the triangular wave. The distortion of the sine wave thus produced is ver high compared to the sine waves generated by other oscillator.

What causes sine wave distortion?

Voltage distortion occurs when an AC output is purely sinusoidal but has small levels of voltage harmonics in addition to the fundamental sinewave frequency. This low level of voltage distortion is often difficult to see on an oscilloscope and requires a power analyzer or harmonics analyzer to quantify.

What is sine distortion?

Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a measurement of how much the voltage or current waveform is "distorted" or changed from its conventional sine wave shape. ... Distortion mainly occurs in multiples of the carrier frequency (50 or 60 Hz) which are referred to as harmonics.
