    This document provides equations and values for the root mean square (RMS) of various common waveforms including DC, sine waves, square waves, shifted square waves, modified square waves, triangle waves, sawtooth waves, and pulse trains. It notes that the RMS of waveforms made by summing known simple waveforms is the square root of the sum of the component RMS values squared, if the components are orthogonal. It also gives a special case equation for finding the RMS when a signal has both DC and AC components.

    Notes: t is time f is frequency a is amplitude (peak value) D is the duty cycle or the percent(%) spent high of the period (1/f) {r} is the fractional part of r Waveforms made by summing known simple waveforms have an RMS that is the root of the sum of squares of the component RMS values, if the component waveforms are orthogonal (that is, if the average of the product of one simple waveform with another is zero for all pairs other than a waveform times itself).

    A special case of this, particularly helpful in electrical engineering, is
