Harmonic Distortion and Nonlinearity

In this video, Gregory explains and demonstrates the origins of harmonic distortion from non-linear circuits. A setup is used to show how the symmetrical and non-symmetrical distortion generates odd and even harmonics, using spectral analysis. The non-linear transfer function is visualized with the help of an XY plot. At the end, the behavior of odd and even harmonics are shown on the time-domain.
