While arbitrary function generators continue playing an important role in generating waveforms for various electronics testing applications, these instruments have often lagged behind oscilloscopes ...

Signal generators are subdivided into categories that include arbitrary function generators (AFGs) and arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs). The word arbitrary denotes a user’s ability to create ...

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 ...

Test signals are becoming more complex with the components and systems they characterize. Although such signals are needed to evaluate the performance of an expanding array of electronic devices, ...

Arbitrary waveform generators are essentially function generators where the function (waveform) is defined by the user rather than being predefined and fixed. (usually sine, triangle and square waves) ...

The generator comes with Waveform Manager Plus for Windows, enabling complex waveforms to be created using a PC. Commonly used waveforms that are pre-programmed into the software include sin(x)/x, ...

One of the most useful bits of kit on a test bench — especially if you regularly deal with analogue circuits — just has to be a function generator. Several years ago I tested the Siglent model SDG830 ...

Abstract: The inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) forms a time series from its spectral description. The time data formed by the IFFT represents a single cycle of a periodic waveform which can be ...

Abstract: We consider in-network computation of an arbitrary function over an arbitrary communication network. A network with capacity constraints on the links is given. Some nodes in the network ...
