Calculating Crest Factor of a Waveform

April 8, 2024 by Admin-EF Leave a Comment

Crest factor is a way to describe a waveform’s shape. It’s calculated by dividing the waveform’s peak value (maximum value) by its RMS value (effective value). For a perfect sine wave, the crest factor is 1.414. This tells us that sine waves have a predictable peakiness. Crest factor (CF), also called peak factor or amplitude factor, is a mathematical tool used to analyze various […]
