Description:

Amplitude distortion refers to the alteration or degradation of the amplitude of a signal, waveform, or sound. It typically occurs when a signal is transmitted or processed, causing various levels of distortion to the original amplitude levels.

Senses:

1. Electronics: In electronics, amplitude distortion is a phenomenon that affects the amplitude of a signal during transmission, resulting in a change in the shape or magnitude of the signal.
2. Audio: In audio systems, amplitude distortion can occur when audio signals are amplified or processed, causing changes in the original amplitudes and resulting in altered sound quality.

Usages:

Popular: Amplitude distortion is a common concern in telecommunications and audio engineering.

Local: The local radio station experienced amplitude distortion due to an electrical interference issue.

Sample Sentences:

1. The guitar solo sounded distorted due to amplitude distortion in the amplifier.

2. The high levels of noise in the power lines caused amplitude distortion in the transmitted signals.
