It’s probably not much of a stretch to say that many of us have taken on a project or two that were little more than thinly veiled excuses to add a new tool or piece of gear to our arsenal. There’s ...

Unlike digital RF generators that produce only sine waves, function generators can produce repetitive waveforms of different shapes such as sine, square, triangular, sawtooth, and pulse. Function ...

Microcontroller addict [Debraj] decided to make his own programmable sine wave generator, and was able to put it together for under $40 USD. Other than low-cost, his list of requirements was as ...

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 ...

Power transformers are often the main source of common-mode noise in isolated switching power converters. Why? Because inside the transformer, the windings on the primary and secondary sides of the ...

The 81160A provides pulse, sine, square, ramp, noise, and arbitrary waveforms and signals with an intrinsic jitter of 7-ps rms. It generates 330-MHz pulses and 500-MHz function/arbitrary waveforms ...
