About
overshoot
1. In the transition of any parameter from one value to another, the transitory value of the parameter that exceeds the final value.
Note: Overshoot occurs when the
transition is from a lower value to a higher value. When the transition is from a higher value to a lower value, and the parameter takes a transitory value that is lower than the final value, the phenomenon is called
"undershoot." 2. The increased amplitude of a portion of a nonsinusoidal
waveform,
i.e., signal, at the
output of a nonlinear
circuit,
e.g., a realizable amplifier, caused by the characteristics of the circuit. (
188 ).
Note 1: Overshoot causes
distortion of the signal.
Note 2: Overshoot may result from circuit design parameters that are intended to decrease the
response time of the circuit.
Note 3: The amount of overshoot in a given
circuit is designed to minimize
response time while maintaining
distortion of the
signal within acceptable limits. The absence or presence of overshoot, and if present, its magnitude, is a function of a circuit design parameter called
"damping." See illustration under waveform. 3. The result of an unusual atmospheric,
e.g. , ionospheric, condition that causes
microwave signals to be received where they are not intended.
