'''Non-sinusoidal waveforms''' are [[waveform]]s that are not [[sine wave]]s. While a sine consists of a single frequency, non-sinusoidal waveforms can be described as being made of multiple sine waves of different frequencies. These "component" sine waves may, or may not, be multiples of a [[fundamental frequency|fundamental]] or "lowest" frequency. The frequency and amplitude of each component can be found using a mathematical technique known as [[Fourier analysis]].

Non-sinusoidal waveforms are important in, for example, [[mathematics]], [[music]] and [[electronics]].

Examples of non-sinusoidal waveforms include [[square wave]]s, [[pulse wave|rectangular wave]]s, [[ramp wave]]s, [[triangle wave]]s, [[spiked wave]]s and [[sawtooth wave]]s.
