I have looked through the archives on this topic, and have been unable to find any responses detailing the process, just "frequency conversion is not a simple problem," over and over again.
The frequency conversion I wish to attempt should not be as difficult, because I have a low frequency signal generator to begin with and aid in the process.
Here's the details:
I have a 7.83 Hz signal powered by one 9-volt DC alkaline battery.
I have a kitchen outlet which generates a 60 Hz signal.
-- With these two signals, I believe that theoretically I can generate just about any frequency of signal, to about +- 0.16 Hz due to the linear combinations of frequency of the two signals. My question is, how realistic is the theory in this case, since it might require 5 or 6 mixers to get the frequency desired (6.3 Hz). Will noise be an overwhelming problem? //
Is 6.3158 close enough. Double 60 to 120 and divide by 19.

Yes, that is great. Thanks for the insight.

I'm willing to bet large sums of money that you don't.
i dunno but if you can hook a theramin to it...
-- 1. Divide your 60Hz signal by 20 to get 3 Hz. 2. Mix the 60Hz signal with the 3Hz signal and filter the output to get 63Hz. 3. Square up the 63Hz signal and divide it by 10 to get 6.3Hz.

I may go with this, but it seems it would be more costly than the 6.315 solution, so my client may choose not too.
This brings me back to the question - with these solutions, and the myriad of possible ways to make multiple others, is frequency conversion such a difficult problem?
