If there is a linear constant shift of the frequency band then the harmonic relation between the individual spectral components will be lost. For example if there is a harmonic at 100 Hz and then a another harmonic at 300 Hz then a 10 Hz shift will shift the harmonics to 110,310 Hz respectivelyand the since the ratio now is < 3 between the two frequencies then they are not related harmonically anymore, and will probably cause some kind of a 'beat' waveform. This can be avoided if somehow the frequencies are all multiplied by some arbitrary constant and in this way harmonic content is preserved. at U of I Tony Zuccarino
