Re: Calc. energy harmonics


For example, an RF fundamental and the frequency obtained by dividing
it in successively in two 20 or 30 times.

Thank you,

Wouldn't that depend on the shape of the waveform?

Indeed it does. Pure sine waves, for example, have no harmonics. A
distorted sine wave has harmonics proportional to the percentage of
distortion.

I am referring to a "resonant" frequency irrespective of waveform.
Here is a specific example. I have two separate signals of equal
amplitude. One is a 1GHz sinewave, the other is 1GHz divided by 2
twenty times to produce a distant lower octave.

How do I calculate the _proportion_ of energy density of the distant
octave compared to that of the fundamental, assuming all else is
equal?
