https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average%20rectified%20value
In electrical engineering, the average rectified value (ARV) of a quantity is the average of its absolute value. The average of a symmetric alternating value is zero and it is therefore not useful to characterize it. Thus the easiest way to determine a quantitative measurement size is to use the average rectified valu...
