What is another word for amplitude distortion?
Pronunciation: [ˈamplɪtjˌuːd dɪstˈɔːʃən] (IPA) 
Amplitude distortion is often referred to as signal distortion when the amplitude of a signal is affected by noise or interference. Another commonly used synonym for amplitude distortion is attenuation distortion, which is the loss of signal strength or amplitude over distance. Other synonyms for amplitude distortion include waveform distortion or amplitude damage, which represents the change in shape or form of a waveform. Another synonym is clipping, which occurs when any part of a signal exceeds the limits of its intended range. Additionally, harmonic distortion is a synonym used to describe the presence of unwanted harmonics in a signal due to amplitude changes. Finally, intermodulation distortion is a synonym that refers to unwanted signals being created due to the nonlinear effects of amplitude distortion.
