Amplitude vs Beamforming - What's the difference?

amplitude | beamforming |

In physics terms the difference between amplitude and beamforming

is that amplitude is the maximum absolute value of some quantity that varies while beamforming is a technique in which the phase and amplitude of transmitted signals are modified, by a feedback process, in order to improve transmission speed.

As nouns the difference between amplitude and beamforming

is that amplitude is the measure of something's size, especially in terms of width or breadth; largeness, magnitude while beamforming is a technique in which the phase and amplitude of transmitted signals are modified, by a feedback process, in order to improve transmission speed.

amplitude

Noun

(en noun)
  • The measure of something's size, especially in terms of width or breadth; largeness, magnitude.

  • amplitude of mind
  • * Macaulay
  • amplitude of comprehension
  • (mathematics) The maximum absolute value of the vertical component of a curve or function, especially one that is periodic.
  • (physics) The maximum absolute value of some quantity that varies.
  • (astronomy) The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the center of the sun, or a star, at its rising or setting. At the rising, the amplitude is eastern or ortive: at the setting, it is western, occiduous, or occasive. It is also northern or southern, when north or south of the equator.
  • (astronomy) The arc of the horizon between the true east or west point and the foot of the vertical circle passing through any star or object.
