Engineering:Significant instant

From HandWiki
Short description: Instant of change of a discretely-timed signal

In telecommunications, a significant instant is the instant of change from one significant condition to another within a discretely-timed signal[1]

A signal in which the time interval between two successive significant instants is constant is called an isochronous signal. This time interval is called the unit interval.
