Signal Generators – Key Features
Few key terms are mentioned below:
- Frequency Range: Frequency can be simply defined as the number of cycles per second in the wave, frequency can be expressed in hertz(Hz).A wider Frequency range makes testing across different devices and system accurately.
- Amplitude Range: The highest point of the signal is its amplitude or the max amplitude is the peak of that frequency. It displays the waveform’s strength or intensity. A broader range makes versatility and precision in signals generation which ensures the output meets the specific application requirements.
- Output Power: It Signifies the level of power than can be supply. The right amount of power is important for accurate signal generation.
- Modulation Capabilities: It is the process of changing a carrier signal’s one or multiple properties to match the data in a modulated signal is known as modulation.
- Sweep and Burst Functions: It functions to facilitate signal generation across predefined frequency ranges and time durations. This function is important as it is beneficial for testing applications requiring periodic signals.
- Waveform Format: Waveform is the type of wave that is presented indicates the signal graph’s shape, which could be a sine, square, or triangle waveform etc.
- Triggering Options: It enables the signal synchronization with external events or signals
- Waveform Memory: It allows the storing and recalling of waveforms that can be used in future.
Signal Generator
Signal Generators are used to replicate and control the source of electrical signals for many different applications, signal generators are crucial devices for electrical and electronics engineers. From electronic circuit testing to the diagnosis, and repair can all be done with signal generators.
