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 ...

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 ...

An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a powerful and flexible signal source capable of generating any wave shape within the bandwidth and amplitude range of the generator. Populating an AWG with ...

Waveforms produced by AFGs can be impacted by cable mismatches. Here’s a novel approach to solving this problem without an oscilloscope. Arbitrary function generators (AFGs) are used to generate many ...

A dead Tek FG503 function generator plug-in inspires a teardown. The culprit? A bad op amp in the power supply. A former coworker friend sent me a Tektronix 3-slot mainframe and several plug-in ...

I don’t have a signal generator, or more specifically I don’t have a low frequency signal generator or a function generator. Recently this fact collided with my innocent pleasure in buying cheap stuff ...

Eve in Motion has created a new pocket sized mini oscilloscope and function generator which they have launched via Kickstarter this month to raise the required funds needed to take the design from ...
