Any waveform that is not a sine or cosine wave is a nonsinusoidal waveform. Common examples are the rectangular and sawtooth waves (Fig. 11-24). What are the peak-to-peak voltages for these particular waves?
Peak-to-peak amplitudes, measured between the maximum and minimum peak values, are generally used for measuring nonsinusoidal wave shapes since they often have nonsymmetrical peaks. By inspection of Fig. 11-24.
Rectangular wave: V_{p-p} = 5 + 2 = 7 V
Sawtooth wave: V_{p-p} = 10 + 5 = 15 V
