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 ...

It’s always a pleasure to find a hardware hacker who you haven’t seen before, and page back through their work. [Bettina ...

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 ...

Anyone searching for a function generator may be interested in a new DIY Arduino project which details how you can make your very own. “A function generator is a very useful tool, especially when we ...

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 ...
