Definition of quadrature in English:

quadrature

noun ˈkwɒdrətʃəˈkwɑdrətʃər
mass noun
  • 1Mathematics
    The process of constructing a square with an area equal to that of a circle, or of another figure bounded by a curve.

    Example sentencesExamples

    • Craig published several more papers on the logarithmic curve, the curve of quickest descent and quadrature of figures.
    • This book is a treatise on infinite series, summation, interpolation and quadrature.
    • He also considered curves of double curvature on the sphere and the quadrature of parts of a spherical surface.
    • Both in-phase and quadrature measurements are recorded.
  • 2Astronomy
    The position of the moon or a planet when it is 90° from the sun as viewed from the earth.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • When the Sun-Moon system is in quadrature relative to the Earth, the combined gravitational forces are not as strong.
    • The planet is at east quadrature (ninety degrees east of the Sun) on the 26th.
  • 3Electronics
    A phase difference of 90 degrees between two waves of the same frequency, as in the colour difference signals of a television screen.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • The MT312 is a single-chip variable rate digital quadrature phase shift keying satellite demodulator.
    • The L5 signal that will appear with the Block IIF satellites in 2006, will have quadrature phase skip keying.

    • It features RS - 422-compatible quadrature output, and programmable resolution and output frequency.
    • A method and apparatus for equalizing a received quadrature amplitude modulated signal is disclosed.

Origin

Mid 16th century (as a mathematical term): from Latin quadratura 'a square, squaring', from quadrare (see quadrate).
