A signal is composed of a fundamental frequency of 2 kHz and another of 4 kHz. What name is given to the 4 kHz signal?
- ASub-harmonic
- BIntermodulation
- CHarmonic
- DAlias
Correct answer: C — Harmonic. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
A harmonic is simply a frequency that is a whole-number multiple of a lower starting frequency, called the fundamental. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
