Concept:

A square wave is represented as:

The fundamental frequency for a square wave is the inverse of the time period, i.e.

Calculation:

With T = 4 msec, the fundamental frequency will be:

Important Note: A square wave is a combination of many frequencies, i.e.

fsquare = f0 + f1 + f2 + ... + fn

f0 = fundamental frequency

f1, f2, ...fn are the harmonics, i.e. multiples of the fundamental frequency
