#118693 - Adding signals with two frequencies Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Then, when a cell phone produces the 17 kHz tone would there not be a beat frequency (hetrodyne if my spelling is correct) of the difference?<p>
No. Adding two signals that contain two different frequencies will result in a signal that contains both frequencies, and just that. Without further processing, no additional frequencies will appear. However, the sum signal could be rectified (AM demodulation), which would result in an audible frequency. That would require recording the sum signal, which makes the whole process pretty much useless, because it requires a speaker and a microphone. Detecting high-pitches tones directly could be done with a microphone only. |
