Harmonics is multiple of fundamental frequency. Spurious is not related to fundamental frequency but it is observed at the output spectrum. Harmonics are generated due to non-linearity of the device. Harmonics can generate spurious. As an example harmonics can produce resonance with mechanical box internal structure and can generate spurious.
Harmonics generally generated from TCXO & frequency multipliers. If amplifier is non-linear, this will also generate harmonics. But harmonics very near to carrier generally generates interference to modulating signals. We design final power amplifier as a class AB amplifier to get more output power and better efficiency and also to minimize output power variation with temperature. Since it is non linear amplifier it generates harmonics but it will be very far from carrier and can be filtered easily.

Symmetrical push/pull circuits must cancel even ordered harmonics, like f2, f4, f6 and therefore promote odd ordered harmonics, like (f1), f3, f5 when driven into the nonlinear range.
Harmonics is electric current or voltages that are part of the power system as a result of nonlinear electric loads. If there is no load and a harmonic is present it can present because of a rectifier in the system.
The triplen harmonics are defined as the odd multiples of the 3rd harmonic (ex. 3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st etc.). Triplen harmonics are of particular concern because they are zero sequence harmonics, unlike the fundamental, which is positive sequence. The consequence of this fact is that the magnitude of these currents on the 3 phases are additive in the neutral. This can lead to very large currents circulating in the neutral, and unless the neutral is sufficiently oversized this can present a fire hazard. These currents can also circulate in the transformer causing significant overheating there too. Single-phase power supplies for equipment such as electronic ballasts and PCs are the most significant source of Triplen harmonics
For a waveform containing harmonics, the harmonic frequencies are multiples of what is known as the 'fundamental' frequency. For example, for a waveform that contains 'third harmonics', the fundamental frequency is one-third the frequency of the harmonics. The fundamental frequency of vocal folds the speech mechanism as sound generator.
There are no best harmonics.
Harmonics are often seen on shaft and blade signatures of surface ships and become broad and diffused with cavitation. also main electrical power sources will show harmonics related to pole pairs on the motors etc.
Psy-Harmonics was created in 1993.
Sigma Harmonics happened in 2008.
Because that is how harmonics are defined!
harmonics nothing but harmonics...............
Odd harmonics are theoretically the only harmonics that are produced by a push-pull amplifier, and even the level of odd harmonics should be very low.
Sigma Harmonics was created on 2008-08-21.
Harmonics are a multiple of the fundamental frequency. If the power frequency is 60Hz, harmonics occur at 120Hz, 180Hz, 240Hz, etc.
if a signal is not a pure sine wave it must contain harmonics
Harmonics are multiples of the fundamental frequency of the wave.
Harmonics are really not needed in single phase transformers.
