Brief Handbook for the Sum of Two Harmonics,

Abstract

A systematic illustration of the sum of two harmonics is presented. Various patterns for the response such as 'waviness', 'beats', and 'jiggles' are obtained. The general relation of these patterns to the frequencies and amplitudes of the two harmonics is indicated. The patterns are shown to be repeatable for phase shifts of generally less than 360 degrees between the two harmonics. Numerous and systematic examples for the responses are given over a wide range of frequencies, amplitudes, and phase angles. (Author)
