Multiple frequencies [closed]

could someone please inform me how it is possible to send multiple frequencies down one wire? I’m referring specifically to a communication protocol known as HART. It seems they send a 4-20mA signal ...

Does a 1 kHz signal have harmonics above or below 1 kHz, and where is its fundamental frequency?

I'm having an argument with a friend ─ he believes a 1 kHz audio signal has its fundamental frequency at 1 kHz with harmonics above that value, while I believe the fundamental frequency will be far ...

Use of negative frequency for the sake of simplifying mathematics?

How can we use the idea of negative frequency for the sake of simplifying mathematics if negative frequency does not exist (to my knowledge) in nature ? For example, when plotting the spectra of a ...

An apparent contradiction in various explanations of frequency bands and data bandwidth

From wikipedia: "A key characteristic of bandwidth is that any band of a given width can carry the same amount of information, regardless of where that band is located in the frequency spectrum. For ...

Sound of a limited wave after removing main frequency?

From my old studies in signals I can remember that "a signal limited in frequency domain is unlimited in time domain" and viceversa (a signal limited in time domain is unlimited in frequency domain). ...

Is this a frequency domain plot for audio? [closed]

I have a program "spectrum" that draws an chart for an audio file (a short .wav with an human voice recorded on it). I believe it is a frequency domain chart. The ...

Why need for 96kHz, 192kHz audio? [closed]

Human can hear 20-20,000 Hz waves, so by Nyquist theorem it's sufficient to sample audio with 40 kHz. Indeed, 44.1 kHz widely used. But what do we need higher sample rates for? 96 kHz, 192 kHz are ...

Image Reconstruction:Phase vs. Magnitude

Figure 1.(c) shows the Test image reconstructed from MAGNITUDE spectrum only. We can say that the intensity values of LOW frequency pixels are comparatively more than HIGH frequency pixels. $$ f(x,y)=...

Frequency shift without affecting signal length

Non-physicist here. From what I've learned in university and what common sense says, a shift in frequency of a signal results in a change in its length in time. For example, if a sinusoid signal of ...
