Ring modulation and spectra</A>
</H2>
<P>
Example E01.spectrum.pd serves to introduce a spectrum
measurement tool we'll be using; here we'll skip to the
second example, E02.ring.modulation.pd, which shows the effect of ring modulating a harmonic
spectrum (which was worked out theoretically in Section <A HREF="node77.html#sect5.ringmod">5.2</A> and
shown in Figure <A HREF="node77.html#fig05.04">5.4</A>). In the example we consider a signal whose
harmonics (from 0 through 5) all have unit amplitude. The harmonics may be
turned on and off separately using toggle switches. When they are all on,
the spectral envelope peaks at DC (because the constant signal counts twice as
strongly as the other sinusoids), has a flat region from
harmonics 1 through 5, and then descends to zero.

Ring modulation of a complex tone by a sinusoid: (a) its realization;
(b) a measured spectrum.</CAPTION>

</TABLE>
</DIV>
<P>
In the signal generation portion of the patch (part (a) of the figure), we sum
the six partials and multiply the sum by the single, carrier oscillator.
(The six signals are summed implicitly by connecting them all to the same
inlet of the <TT>*~</TT> object.) The value of "fundamental" at the top
is computed to line up well with the spectral analysis, whose result is
shown in part (b) of the figure.
<P>
The spectral analysis (which uses techniques that won't be described until
Chapter <A HREF="node163.html#chapter-fourier">9</A>) shows the location of the
sinusoids (assuming a discrete spectrum) on the horizontal axis and their
magnitudes on the vertical one. So the presence of a peak at DC of magnitude
one in the spectrum of the input signal predicts, &#224; la Figure <A HREF="node77.html#fig05.03">5.3</A>,
that there should be a peak in the output spectrum, at the carrier frequency,
of height 1/2. Similarly, the two other sinusoids in the input signal, which
have height 1/2 in the spectrum, give rise to two peaks each, of height 1/4,
in the output. One of these four has been reflected about the left edge of
the figure (taking the absolute value of its negative frequency).
