- Adding sinusoids of the same
frequency produces another sinusoid at that frequency (with
possibly different amplitude and/or phase).
Figure 1:
Adding 2 sinusoids at different
frequencies.

- Adding sinusoids with different frequencies results in
a signal that is no longer sinusoidal. But is it periodic?
