The AC component superimposed over the DC output voltage. In linear power supplies, this is the traditional “hum” at 60 or 120 hertz. In switching power supplies, it is a complex waveform. Although traditionally specâ€(tm)d at 1%, it is often much lower. Ripple can increase at maximum loading and minimum input voltage.

The magnitude of a unit's output AC voltage.

(electronics) an oscillation of small amplitude imposed on top of a steady value

The deviation from a linear function or fundamental shape. This is usually applied to amplitude, phase, or group delay in filter terminology.

To fret or dimple, as the surface of running water; to cover with small waves or undulations; as, the breeze rippled the lake.

The fretting or dimpling of the surface, as of running water; little curling waves.
