Abstract
We report the first results of the Whole Earth Telescope observations of AM CVn in March/April 1990. The Fourier Spectrum of the light curve shows harmonically related peaks. High frequency sidebands with the fine-splitting of 21 µHz are observed for the fundamental period of 1051 s and its 4 lowest harmonics. These have not been observed before. The fundamental period itself is not detected.
