A sinusoidal wave signal is a type of continuous wave that has a smooth and repetitive oscillation. It is based on the sine or cosine trigonometric function, which describes the curve of the wave. Sinusoidal wave signals are common in mathematics, physics, engineering, signal processing, and many other fields. In this article, we will explain what a sinusoidal wave signal is, how it is characterized, and why it is important.
Before we define a sinusoidal wave signal, let us first understand what a signal is in general. A signal is a representation of any quantity that varies over time or space. For example, the sound of a voice, the temperature of a room, the voltage of a battery, and the position of a car are all signals. Signals can be measured and recorded as values at different points in time or space.
A signal can be graphed as a function of time or space, showing how the value changes over the domain. This is called the graphical representation of the signal. For example, the graph below shows a signal that represents the temperature of a room over one day.
Some signals are constant, meaning they do not change their value over time or space. For example, the speed of light and the acceleration due to gravity are constant signals. Some signals are time-varying or space-varying, meaning they change their value over time or space. For example, the sound of a voice and the voltage of a battery are time-varying signals.
Some signals are periodic, meaning they repeat their pattern after a fixed interval of time or space. For example, the temperature of a room over one day is a periodic signal, because it repeats every 24 hours. Some signals are non-periodic, meaning they do not repeat their pattern over time or space. For example, the sound of a voice is a non-periodic signal, because it does not have a fixed pattern.

φ{\displaystyle \varphi }shine da fasahohin tsarki, wanda yake da mafi nasara daga zero
The frequency and angular frequency determine how fast the signal oscillates. A higher frequency or angular frequency means more cycles in less time, and vice versa. The phase determines when the signal starts its cycle. A positive phase means an advance in time, and a negative phase means a delay in time.
A sinusoidal wave signal completes one cycle when it goes from zero to positive peak to zero to negative peak, and back to zero. The duration of one cycle is called the period (T) of the signal, which is inversely proportional to the frequency:
T=1/f{\displaystyle T=1/f}
The distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs is called the wavelength (λ) of the signal, which is inversely proportional to the angular frequency:
λ=2π/ω{\displaystyle \lambda =2\pi /\omega }
The shape of a sinusoidal wave signal does not change when it is added to another sinusoidal wave signal of the same frequency and arbitrary amplitude and phase. This property makes sinusoidal wave signals useful for analyzing complex signals using the Fourier series and Fourier transform.

Electromagnetic waves suna da sinusoidally oscillating electric and magnetic fields wanda suke so a kan duk iyaka. Radio systems modulate the amplitude, frequency, or phase of a sinusoidal carrier signal with the information signal to encode the data. The modulated signal is then amplified and radiated by an antenna. The receiver antenna captures the electromagnetic wave and demodulates the signal to recover the information.
