+ | ===== Basic Definition (Wikipedia) ===== | ||
+ | The sawtooth wave (or saw wave) is a kind of basic non-sinusoidal waveform. It is named a sawtooth based on its resemblance to the teeth on the blade of a saw. | ||
+ | The usual convention is that a sawtooth wave ramps upward as time goes by and then sharply drops. However, there are also sawtooth | ||
+ | waves in which the wave ramps downward and then sharply rises. The latter type of sawtooth wave is called a 'reverse sawtooth wave' or | ||
+ | 'inverse sawtooth wave'. The 2 orientations of sawtooth wave sound identical when other variables are controlled. | ||
