I'm currently making a (very low power) 60kHz transmitter. Because 60kHz crystals are not very widely available, I am dividing a 6MHz square wave by 100 in order to obtain a 60kHz signal.
When performing this division however, the output of the divider does not have a mark/space ratio of 50/50. The output is high for 1.67e-7 S (period of 6MHz signal) and low for the rest of the 60kHz period.
Does this matter for a transmitter? Would feeding this signal to a resonant LC circuit transmit less efficiently than a signal with a 50/50 mark/space ratio?
Many thanks.
