Arbitrary function generator using Direct Digital Synthesis

摘要

This paper describes the development of an arbitrary function generator based on Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) technique. This signal generator is capable of generating single-tone sinusoidal (THD < -80 dBc), two-tone sinusoidal, square wave, triangular and sawtooth waveforms in the frequency range from 0 to 10 kHz. The frequency stability achieved is 3.9 (mu)Hz (tau velence 2 s) and the amplitude stability is 2.0 (mu)V (tau velence 2 s).
