As the harmonic spectrum becomes richer in harmonics, the waveform takes on a more complex appearance, indicating more deviation from the ideal sinusoid. A rich harmonic spectrum may completely ...

Also, the term “harmonic” refers to a component of a waveform that occurs at an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency. Harmonic distortion is the degree to which a waveform deviates from its ...

The promise of X-ray tabletop broadband light sources by high-order harmonics generated in a gas medium has been limited by low conversion efficiencies. Here, Jin et al.show a method to enhance ...

Square waves are based on a fundamental frequency and its odd harmonics. How many harmonics do you need to get a good enough representation of a square wave to calculate its rise time with enough ...

Having both, and being able to customise them to this extent, with both bands of the harmonic tremolo waveform fully user-customisable, is kind of miraculous.

Here, we demonstrate that the interaction between the fundamental and the second-harmonic waves can provide an entirely new way of phase matching for four-wave mixing in optical microresonators ...

Therefore, as we clip the waveform we start to introduce more and more odd-numbered harmonics as the wave moves closer and closer to a square shape. Not only does this represent a good way of ...

While the operational differences between chorus and flanging are similar, the outputted effects of flanging can sound very ...

Even a 1 Mword memory in an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG or arb) will produce discontinuities in the inter-harmonic waveform, as it is impossible to fit exactly integer numbers of cycles for all ...

I mentioned earlier that "a rectangular wave is a sound with many odd harmonic overtones". So, as you actually add harmonics, you can see how the waveform gets steadily angular and closer to a ...

When any harmonic is added to the sinusoidal fundamental current or voltage, the result is distortion. The greater the amplitudes of the harmonics present, the greater the distortion in the electrical ...
