Harmonic Overtones and Resonance

Section 13:

Changes In Shape of Square Wave with
2nd Order Band-Pass Resonance

This page features 6 charts, which show a square wave without resonance followed by charts that show the phase and amplitude changes caused by a band-pass resonance at 1 and 2 octaves below the resonant frequency, at the resonant frequency, and at 1 and 2 octaves above the center frequency.
