For a comparison of rectangular waveform on-times versus spectral
content, the following calculations were done on my WAVESPEC program for a 0.50 to 0.25 times repetition period and with rise and fall times equal to 0.02 times repetition period. If the fundamental energy is the reference, then the harmonics are down from that 0 db by the values shown: /------------ width rel. to rep. period -==--------\ Harm 0.50 0.45 0.40 0.35 0.30 0.25 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 -6.4 -7.3 -8.4 -9.6 -11.1 -12.8 5 -28.0 -17.8 -15.1 -15.7 -20.3 * 7 -28.1 -20.1 -26.2 -27.7 -26.6 -29.1 9 -28.4 -24.6 -32.1 -44.2 -43.0 * 11 -28.7 -32.7 -42.2 -25.1 -35.8 -28.7 13 -29.1 * -29.1 * -29.1 * * too far down to matter, not enough there The above will hold true at any fundamental frequency provided the rise and fall times are equal and each equal to 0.02 times the repetition period. Those numbers will change given faster or slower rise/fall times. All db calculated as 20 x Log (voltage). Width is determined at the baseline, not the 50% amplitude point.
