The 100 Hz (being 2x 50Hz, the power freq. in Italy)

getting 2x 50Hz (and I think I need one :-)).


Doh!  When the AC wave is rectified, it results in a signal that is 2x
the freq. because the negative part gets inverted.  That's why we see
100 Hz instead of 50 Hz.

On card A or X?

X. A has already been "proven" -- unless it's a trick question that we can't trust that "proof."

Why AM and not additive signals?

Because the peaks shift with the input signal. If the signals were just added (mixed) then the peaks would always be at 100Hz, 200Hz, 300Hz... etc. and have the same amplitude.

Try modelling it up with AMS (that's what I did).
