I still can't see where the 'sampling' bit comes into it.
AFAICT, there's are two signals into this thing and one signal out. The 
signal from the LHS is passed through a very fast diode which generates 
harmonics from that fundamental. The signal from the RHS is unmodified and 
mixed with the desired harmonic to give the necessary output signal which 
is then filtered to get rid of the unwanted mixing products. If that's all 
correct, as I believe it is, where does any *sampling* come into it?
