Modulation (according to me) is a non-linear process (multiplication, rectification, etc). Summation is not. Both produce envelopes, but the details of those envelopes differ.

Well, I sort of agree. But call any two of those sinusoids the sidebands produced by complex modulation of the third, and I think the sum is identical to a form of modulation with carrier.

No modulation needed. three signals close in frequency and amplitude will produce beats that _look_ like modulation and illustrate the effect.

Yes. To see the group delay you will have to modulate your sine wave while staying completely within a bandwidth where the group delay is fairly constant, and then compare the before and after filtering locations of your modulation envelope.

Individual sine waves don't experience group delay, they experience phase delay. -- Oli

Hi,

   I am seeing some negative group delay at 
   1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 Hz. The example
   filter listed below with matlab/octave code.

   any clue why this is happening? interesting
   part is when I feed 1000 hz sine wave sampled
   at 10000 hz I don't see the behaviour of 
   negative group delay.

Regards
Bharat
