    Multiplying a complicated frequency

    So suppose I had a periodic signal f(x) = sin(ax) + sin(bx) + ... Suppose I want to generate a signal g(x) with k times the frequency of f(x). I don't know what {a,b,...} are but I know that they are elements of some finite set of coefficients C. Suppose I build a bank of LC circuits...

    Multiplying a complicated frequency

    Does a diode / other non-linear device generate harmonics regardless of the input signal or does it only work for "nice" signals, i.e. sin(x), cos(x), ... ?

    Multiplying a complicated frequency

    Yes I am thinking along the lines of an analog computer. Any good analog computing references would be much appreciated. What exactly do you mean by representing my signal as voltages? I'm not very knowledgeable about electrical engineering or circuit design so I apologize if that is an...

    Multiplying a complicated frequency

    Thanks for the diagram Studiot. I've attached a diagram of what I want the device to do. In the diagram I've used general notation f(x), but I intend f(x) to be some function that is the sum of sine waves. That is f(x) = sin(c_1 x) + sin (c_2 x) + ... I am looking primarily for a...

    Multiplying a complicated frequency

    Sorry I was inconsistent. I want to either multiply the frequency, period or the wavelength. It doesn't matter - I'm trying to "mark" a certain signal by multiplying one of these characteristics by λ.

    Multiplying a complicated frequency

    But a function f(x) = Sin(a) + Sin(b) is still periodic, correct? In more proper terminology, I suppose this means that I want to double the period between beats. I'm looking for a circuit device that, given input f(x), produces output g(x) such that g(x) = f(λx) for some integer λ...

    Multiplying a complicated frequency

    Hi, Suppose I have a signal that is the sum of sin waves of varying frequencies. That is, the signal S(x) = Sin(ax) + Sin(bx) + ... where {a,b,...} are integers. Is there some kind of circuit or other mechanism that could multiply the frequency of the signal by some scalar λ? In...
