Ringing (signal)

An illustration of overshoot, followed by ringing and settle time.

In electronics, signal processing, and video, ringing is oscillation of a signal, particularly in the step response (the response to a sudden change in input). Often ringing is undesirable, but not always, as in the case of resonant inductive coupling. It is also known as hunting.[1]

It is also known as ripple, particularly in electricity or in frequency domain response.

  1. ^ Oxford English Dictionary (2nd ed.). Oxford University Press. 1989. f. The action of a machine, instrument, system, etc., that is hunting (see hunt v. 7b); an undesirable oscillation about an equilibrium speed, position, or state.
