Hi, its a long time since I studied math (I'm a technician trying to understand something the engineers don't agree with me about)
, but I have a problem involving a wave Y below

Y=A / (1+(B+C* sin⁡ (2 pi f t))/D )^n

I know this is driven by the sine wave at frequency f and t is the time variable. I've plotted this wave out and it gives
a slightly distorted sine wave, depending on the ABCD variables I choose, however I can see it is still fundamentally
at the frequency f, but because of the distortion there will be harmonics. Is it possible to find an mathematical
equation for these harmonics or do I need to put this into some math software and do some frequency domain analysis

thanks in advance,

John
