    Doesn't a "beat frequency" result from two signals of different 
frequency? If so, what is the source of the other frequency? If not, 
how else does a "beat" result?

    Are you saying the above observed "beat frequency" is the 
difference between the common "coupled frequency" and the common 
"uncoupled frequency"?
