Abstract
A system and method for generating for efficiently obtaining a desired harmonic from a fundamental frequency the prior art is needed. The system and method of the present invention produces a desired harmonic by employing techniques using gain stages (or limiter/comparator circuits) in combination with pre-defined offset voltages (or currents). The output signals of the gain stages are added with the correct phase to generate the desired harmonic.
