On the basis of a frequency analysis of light variations of AR Her a double-mode pulsation is proposed as an explanation of the Blazhko effect. The analysis revealed a number of components, which can all be interpreted as a result of nonlinear superposition of the fundamental mode, and a mode with period P = 1/(2/P0 + 1/PB) ~ P0/2, where P0 = 0d.470 and Pb = 31d.55 denote the fundamental and the Blazhko effect periods, respectively.

The P ⋍ P0/2 mode can be identified as the second or the third radial overtone. In both these cases the “beat” masses derived from a comparison of the calculated (nonadiabatic) and observed period ratios for RR Lyrae variables with Blazhko effect are different from their evolutionary masses.
