time units , or hertz.
* Time constant: , the time for the amplitude to decrease by the factor of e.
* Half-life is the time it takes for the exponential amplitude envelope to decrease by a factor of 2. It is equal to which is approximately .
* Damping ratio: is a non-dimensional characterization of the decay rate relative to the frequency, approximately , or exactly .
