Hi
I have been debating with my friend about RMS Value and he is very confident that Vp*0.6/Root(2) is the correct way of measuring RMS on the ramp waveform.
The ramp waveform like on the figure 1 and firgure 3 from http://masteringelectronicsdesign.com/how-to-derive-the-rms-value-of-a-triangle-waveform/. I acknowledge the equations for RMS Value must be correct.
He wrote this down - the rms value of a triangle is 0.6 x peak by taking samples and doing Root Sum Squared on them. The rms of a discontinuous triangle waveform is this multiplied by the square root of mark-space ratio, which as the ratio is 0.5, is 1/ root 2
I am not entirely who is right or wrong now. Is there any is expert in calculating the rms for triangular waveform to defuse my debating with other guy?
Regards
MM
