Morphology

amplitude + level

The meaning 'magnitude or strength of a signal' is directly and predictably composed from 'amplitude' (height/size of a wave) and 'level' (a measured amount or degree). This is a standard noun–noun measurement collocation following regular compositional patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Amplitude level comes from the simple picture of a wave on a screen: amplitude is the wave's height and level is how high that height is on a scale. So amplitude level tells you the 'strength' of a signal.
