This study examined the characteristics of sidebands in modulation spectroscopy on a high-frequency wave interacting with a defect that imposes a simple switching type disruption caused by a low-frequency, high-amplitude vibration. A simple close form of sideband amplitude is obtained by convolution of a high-frequency probing wave with harmonics of a pulse wave. This study also proposes an experimental procedure based on sideband phases for determining the crack parameters.
