RMS of Common Waveforms
| Waveform | Equation | RMS |
|---|---|---|
| DC, constant | ||
| Sine wave | ||
| Square wave | ||
| Modified square wave | ||
| Triangle wave | ||
| Sawtooth wave | ||
| Pulse train | ||
| Notes: t is time f is frequency a is amplitude (peak value) D is the duty cycle or the percent(%) spent high of the period (1/f) {r} is the fractional part of r |

Waveforms made by summing known simple waveforms have an RMS that is the root of the sum of squares of the component RMS values, if the component waveforms are orthogonal (that is, if the average of the product of one simple waveform with another is zero for all pairs other than a waveform times itself).

Famous quotes containing the word common:
“Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no scepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
