Subharmonic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sub-harmonic frequencies are frequencies below the fundamental frequency of an oscillator in a ratio of 1/x. For example, if the fundamental frequency of an oscillator is 440 Hz, sub-harmonics include 220 Hz (1/2) and 110 Hz (1/4).

Subharmonics can be produced by signal amplification through loudspeakers.[1]
