Hello, I'm trying to determine if the higher harmonics of a low frequency square wave are actually AM modulated. For instance, I can see the harmonics of a 1 KHz square wave all the way up at 100 MHz if I zoom into them on a spectrum analyzer. Are those harmonics really there when the 1 KHz square wave has finished it's transition and is in a steady state for half a millisecond? If I was to sample this steady state with a ultra fast ADC and FFT the samples, would I see the harmonics extending up through 100 MHz?
It's a bit of a mind bender when converting between the time and frequency domain in the case of a square wave.
Thanks, Thomas Magma
