The discussion revolves around a problem in communication systems regarding the Fourier series of a triangular wave, which contains only odd harmonics. The user is struggling to determine how to achieve a base frequency of 50KHz or 210KHz using the first three components of 700KHz, 2100KHz, and 3500KHz. They analyze the effects of summing and subtracting these frequencies but conclude that none will pass through the specified band pass filter with a range of 175KHz to 225KHz. Ultimately, it is agreed that no odd harmonic of 700KHz will pass through the filter, confirming that there is no frequency mixing involved. The discussion highlights the complexities of frequency manipulation in communication systems.
