You should also get 900Hz. They're the sum & difference frequencies.
Apparently broadcast people called them sidebands?
They are called sidebands if one frequency (the 'carrier') is a radio
frequency (e.g. 648 kHz - BBC world), and the other represents the
information to be transmitted (e.g. audio frequencies).
They're also the reason that barbershop quartets
get "ringing" chords.
Could you explain what you mean by that ?
