Maybe if your "electronics" are vacuum tubes and relays. In the digital domain it's not an issue at all.

- jamiek88 10y agoElectronic =/= digital. It is electronic gating to bring down a 1khz signal. Division and multiplication to a prime number is pretty hard...
- T-hawk 10y agoBut there's nothing special about the 1k signal either, because a second is arbitrary. The original signal might have been 878 Hz instead (or equivalently 1000 cycles / 1.139 seconds which is no more or less privileged than 1000 cycles / 1.000 seconds) and then the gating to 439 is easy.
