sawtooth
Significado: A waveform that rises linearly and then drops sharply, resembling the jagged teeth of a saw, used in electronics, music synthesis, and signal processing.
Sawtooth waves contain all harmonics of the fundamental frequency, both odd and even, giving them a rich, buzzy timbre favoured in electronic music synthesis. In electronics, sawtooth generators drive the horizontal sweep of cathode-ray oscilloscopes and old television displays. The term also describes any zigzag or serrated pattern in architecture, mountain ridges, or graph data. 'Sawtooth' functions as both a noun and an adjective.
