Best Answer

A square wave is a sum of an infinite number of sine waves (analogue). These sine waves consist of one wave called a FUNDAMENTAL, and all of the other waves are called HARMONICS. The fundamental is the same amplitude and frequency as the square wave. The harmonics are all odd, i.e. mathematically, the first harmonic (which is called the 3rd harmonic) is 1/3 the amplitude and 3 times the frequency of the fundamental. The next harmonic (called the 5th harmonic) is 1/5 the amplitude and 5 times the frequency of the fundamental. And so it goes with the next harmonic (the 7th), followed by the 9th and so on ad infinitum.
