Howtosignalprocessing
Frequency distortion: This occurs when a circuit or device causes the voltage/current of different frequency components in an input signal to be modified by different amounts. This can only be seen on broadband signals. This generally occurs in filters when the magnitude of the Bode plot is nonlinear.

What is an example of frequency distortion?
Frequency response distortion
Non-flat frequency response is a form of distortion that occurs when different frequencies are amplified by different amounts in a filter. For example, the non-uniform frequency response curve of AC-coupled cascade amplifier is an example of frequency distortion.
Does distortion affect frequency?
While EQ can increase the amplitude of frequencies that exist in a sound, harmonic distortion adds frequencies that didn't exist in the original sound. The right amount of these new frequencies can actually enhance the clarity of a sound and bring it forward in a dense mix.
What is distortion explained?
Essentially, distortion is a form of audio processing that alters the waveform by increasing the gain into a device, like an amp, circuit or software algorithm. Historically, it was used on instruments like electric guitars, but in modern times it can be used on anything to achieve a certain effect.
What causes distortion in signal?
The three main reasons for signal distortion in transmission impairment are environmental parameters, properties of the transmission medium, and distance between the transmission end and receiving end.
