The Newman phase selection criterion7 relies on selecting the phase of the kth tone of a multitoned signal according the quadratic expression given by
Using this equation, determine the phases of the 50-tone multitone signal of Problem 8.23 and compare its peak-to-RMS value to the ideal value of 3.35. Investigate the sensitivity of the peak-to-RMS value by changing the phase of each tone by 1% and computing the change in the peak-to-RMS value.
