Root mean square. A statistical measure of a time-varying value, such as voltage, current, or sound pressure. An RMS value is derived as the square root of the mean of the squares of a series of values. In the case of a continuously varying value, it is derived from an integration of the transfer function. For the special case of a sine wave signal, the calculation simplifies to Vrms = 0.707 * Vpeak. May also be written in lowercase as rms.
