Next step was to build filter that would suppress the harmonics, to make

sure that input signal if truly clean.

SUCCESS\!\!\! FFT of the filtred signal indicates the second harmonics
|
|
|
level of -90dB and third harmonics of -80dB. I don't have to add, that
|
|
|
these values are much closer to our
|
|
|
estimations.
