Study Notes
Side Frequencies
- Two signal frequencies combined linearly produce a signal equal to the algebraic sum of the individual voltages, similar to an adder.
- The resulting waveform is shown in Figure 1.2(a).
- When these frequencies are plotted against amplitude on a graph (frequency domain graph, Figure 1.2(b)), the result shows distinct peaks at the original frequencies (f1 and f2).
- The circuit in Figure 1.2(a) uses an operational amplifier (op-amp, 741)
- Resistor values are given, 470 kΩ, 47kΩ for the input signal paths
- Op-amp input bias voltages are +9V and -9V
