Daniele, the signal does not really look like one of the RDL types, and I also don't think the "copies" are an aliasing artifact. My guess would be a power converter running at 21 kHz, modulated by 300 Hz from the ripple of a three-phase rectifier. The frequency appears to be pulled every 0.7 s, perhaps by periodic load changes. All just speculation of course...
 
Stefan's grabber has a bag full of 300 Hz harmonics from a nearby tram, which is presumably running on raw DC.

Hello VLF,

 

I attach here a SpecLab screenshot where I have found that multiple copies of the same signal are present. The signal at 21100 is probably genuine RDL, while other copies at about +/- 300Hz look like intermod products. However, I can't figure out the origin of this 300Hz "spacing", Any hypothesis?

Many thanks for your feedback.

 

Regards

D.
