Slowly varying envelope approximation

Quality 0.00 · 4 views · Updated 1 month ago

In physics, slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA, sometimes also called slowly varying asymmetric approximation or SVAA) is the assumption that the envelope of a forward-travelling wave pulse varies slowly in time and space compared to a period or wavelength. This requires the spectrum of the signal to be narrow-banded—hence it is also referred to as the narrow-band approximation.
