Help ft_freqsimulation

% method 'amplow_amphigh
%   signal is build up of 5 components; s1, s2, s3, s4 and noise.
%     s1: first frequency
%     s2: second frequency
%     s3: DC shift of s1 and s2, should have frequency of 0
%     s4: amplitude modulation (AM), frequency of this signal should be lower than s1 and s2
% and the output consists of the following channel
%     1st channel: mixed signal = (s4 + s3)*s1 + (s4 + s3)*s2 + noise,
%     2nd channel: s1
%     3rd channel: s2
%     4th channel: s3
%     5th channel: noise
%     6th channel: s4
%     7th channel: mixed part 1: (s4 + s3)*s1
%     8th channel: mixed part 2: (s4 + s3)*s2
