= Phase distortion
{wiki=Phase_distortion}
Phase distortion refers to a phenomenon that occurs when different frequency components of a signal are shifted in phase relative to each other, leading to a change in the signal's waveform. This can happen in various contexts, including in audio processing, telecommunications, and signal transmission. In audio synthesis, for example, phase distortion is often used as a method for generating complex sounds by modifying the phase of a waveform, rather than directly altering its amplitude.
