If you apply distortion to that sine wave, the spectrum analyser would start to show peaks at other frequencies depending on what type of distortion is being applied.

In this blog we look at a limited but nevertheless very relevant version of the problem – the production of a steady-state single-frequency sine wave from a bass driver operating at low frequency and ...

Red trace is voltage viewed differentially, Purple is current through load antenna. As is shown in Figure 7, a sine wave is generated in both the differential voltage and the load current. Figure 7 ...

It might appear similar to Fig. 3, showing many other signals in addition to the first two we started out with. The example is of a severe distortion problem — this air chain would sound horrible on ...

"In Casio's PD synthesis, the phase part of the oscillator described in A) is distorted in eight different ways (corresponding to the eight wave shapes on the synth) and the amount of distortion is ...

Total harmonic distortion (THD) is measured as a percentage of the fundamental frequency. Equipment runs well on voltage that is a clean (or slightly distorted) sine wave. High levels of distortion ...

Peak clipping may be avoided by gain reduction, COMPRESSION of the signal, or by the use of a LIMITER. Compare: RECTIFICATION, SWITCH. Positive and negative clipping of a sine wave. Sound Example: ...

1. This very-low-frequency sine- and square-wave generator requires few components, but provides low-distortion outputs (derived from LTspice simulator). The output of op amp U1 is applied to the ...

Here's a better approach: Use an RDD104 selectable four-decade CMOS divider and an MSFS5 switched-capacitor filter to create a two-chip, 0.2%-distortion sine-wave source.
