The Tektronix AFG3000 series of arbitrary/function generators (AFG) consists of six models based on a “Generator on a Chip” (GoC) ASIC. This CMOS 0.18-micron IC provides direct digital synthesis (DDS) ...

While the vast majority of arbitrary/function generators provide a maximum of 10 V p-p amplitude into 50-ohm loads, a number of applications – particularly in automotive and power electronics design – ...

The test industry is sprinting to keep up with the accelerating rate of change in design complexity, lower costs, time to market, and the way in which we interact with devices and instrumentation. Yet ...

Download this article in PDF format. Arbitrary function generators (AFGs) are used to generate many different types of electrical waveforms, such as sine waves, square waves, triangular waves, and ...

A high-speed arbitrary waveform generator and function generator from Thurlby Thandar Instruments, uses a sample clock speed of up to 100MHz. The TGA12101 can operate as a DDS (direct digital ...

In response to the increasing demand for flexible, high-performance signal sources, SIGLENT introduces the SDG3000X Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Designed for high fidelity and precision, the ...

No one is sitting around their workbench trying to come up with the next great oscilloscope or multimeter, but function generators still remain one of the pieces of test equipment anyone – even ...

Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation (BNC) enjoys a 45 year history providing quality instrumentation to the Nuclear and Test Equipment communities. BNC is launching a new family of products for 2009.

If you have a modern function generator on your bench it is quite likely to contain a direct-digital synthesis circuit that creates arbitrary waveforms using a microprocessor controlled DAC. If you ...
