Signal generators are a useful piece of kit to have on your electronics bench. The downside is that they tend to be rather expensive. If you have $100 to drop on a new toy, the MHS-5200A is a low cost ...

Suddenly, we seem to have a plethora of low-cost RF signal generators available for the RF experimenter and EMC engineer (refer to References for other low-cost RF generators reviewed). Signal Hound ...

Many power ICs use frequency jitter, which spreads a control signal's spectrum, to control EMI (electromagnetic interference). If you need to add frequency jitter to power ICs that control three-phase ...

We usually reserve the honor of Fail of the Week for one of us – someone laboring at the bench who just couldn’t get it together, or perhaps someone who came perilously close to winning a Darwin Award ...

The ScanaLogic2 from Saelig Company Inc. is a PC-based 4-channel logic analyzer and digital signal generator. It provides the ability to generate digital signals, while recording the response on other ...

The R&S SGS100A is a signal generator from Rohde & Schwarz, is more compact than previous RF sources but delivers the same performance as high-end conventional instruments. It covers the frequency ...

Most function generators and network analyzers have just one port to provide the output signal. This Idea For Design uses a transformer in conjunction with a signal splitter to enable generation of ...

This direct digital synthesis IC can function as an arbitrary waveform generator by bypassing the SIN table ROM, holding the phase accumulator at zero, and using the phase register as the ...
