English term or phrase: n-harmonic term

Es geht um Wertpapiere und wie man sie mit Hilfe bestimmter Raster fälschungssicherer machen kann: "The spectrum of each of the line gratings ... consists of an infinite impulse-comb, in which the amplitude of the n-th impulse is given by the coefficient of the n-harmonic term in the Fourier series development of that line grating." Ist das der n-harmonische Term der Fourierreihenentwicklung?

n-ter harmonischer Term

Explanation:
"...the coefficient of the n-harmonic term in the Fourier series development...":
der Koeffizient des n-ten harmonischen Terms in der Fourierreihenentwicklung

(Es handelt sich dabei zwar physikalisch gesehen um eine Oberwelle, im Zusammenhang mit "Koeffizient" würde ich aber eher den mathematischen Ausdruck "Term" verwenden.)

n. Oberwelle

Explanation:
I am not sure of the "n." but it is Oberwelle for sure.

the article of the link shows the erste and zweite Oberwellen for a squarewave, but then they go into

f{sub}n and give a formula.
