If these signals exhibit a simple, periodic waveform, such as with sine, square, or triangular waves, the generators are called function generators. They are often used to check the function of ...

How to create a wide range of complex signals using simple, cheap microcontrollers. A simple process for generating complex signals utilizing standard software tools. Often during product development, ...

Many power ICs use frequency jitter, which spreads a control signal's spectrum, to control EMI (electromagnetic interference). If you need to add frequency jitter to power ICs that control three-phase ...

The addition of a high-output RF signal generator not only simplifies your RF test setup, it also can overcome some of the issues associated with lossy cables and components. In RF testing, an ...

Analog Devices has an output stage IC designed particularly for arbitrary waveform generators and power supplies. It is rather pricey, at $86 from Digikey, for example ($360 for the eval kit) but can ...

Suddenly, we seem to have a plethora of low-cost RF signal generators available for the RF experimenter and EMC engineer (refer to References for other low-cost RF generators reviewed). Signal Hound ...

I have wanted to make a pulse generator for years. I know you can buy perfectly good ones, but not if you want non-overlapping outputs to drive the mosfets in synchronous-rectified dc-dc converters.

Now, Ref Out and Port 1 are both connected to the same Oscilloscope. Triggering is set up to the Input receiving Ref Out. When observing the input connected to Port 1, the signal drifts. This can be ...

[The Signal Path] snagged a fancy Rohde & Schwarz vector signal generator that can go up to 3.2 GHz, but sadly it wasn’t in working order. It powered up and even put out a 1 GHz signal, but the ...
