Which of the following is NOT produced when two sine waves are combined through a nonlinear device?
A) Harmonics of the two original frequencies
B) Components of each of the two original frequencies
C) Components at the sum and difference frequencies
D) an ac level

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two sine waves are combined through a nonlinear device, harmonics of the two original frequencies (A), components of each of the two original frequencies (B), and components at the sum and difference frequencies (C) are produced. An AC level (D) is not specifically produced by the combination of two sine waves through a nonlinear device; instead, the nonlinear interaction generates new frequencies (harmonics and sum/difference frequencies) based on the original signals.
