Damped wave
A damped wave is an electromagnetic wave whose amplitude of oscillation decreases with time, eventually going to zero. This term also refers to an early method of radio transmission from spark gap transmitters, or other types of transmitters having characteristic decrement similar to spark transmitters, in which a carrier wave is switched on and off.
