Gaussian waveforms

A Gaussian waveform is a smooth, bell-shaped curve that describes how a signal’s amplitude varies over time or space. This shape is characterized by its symmetrical form, where the highest point (the peak) represents the maximum amplitude, and it gradually tapers off equally on both sides. Gaussian waveforms often appear in nature and technology, such as in statistics (as a normal distribution) and signal processing, because they efficiently represent natural variations or noise. They are valued for their mathematical properties, making calculations and analysis simpler in various applications.
