Questions & Answer


Q: What is a synthesized signal generator?

A: A synthesized signal generator is an electronic instrument used to generate a wide range of signals with various frequencies, amplitudes, and waveforms. Unlike traditional signal generators, a synthesized signal generator uses digital synthesis techniques to generate signals, providing greater accuracy, stability, and flexibility in signal generation. It typically includes a synthesizer that generates signals digitally, which can then be converted to analog signals for output. Synthesized signal generators are widely used in testing and calibration of electronic circuits, communication systems, research and development, power electronics testing, and medical device testing.


Q: What types of signal generators are there?

A: Analog Signal Generators

Digital Signal Generators

Function Generators

Arbitrary Waveform Generators

Pulse Generators

RF (Radio Frequency) Signal Generators

Synthesized Signal Generators.


Q: How does a signal generator work?

A: A signal generator works by producing an electrical signal with a specific waveform, frequency, and amplitude. It uses an oscillator circuit to generate a periodic signal, which can be adjusted in various ways such as frequency or waveform shape. The output of the oscillator is then amplified to the desired signal strength, and may be modulated with additional signals or waveforms. The resulting signal can then be used for various purposes such as testing electronic devices, generating reference signals for other equipment, or for transmitting data.


Q: Why do I need a signal generator?

A: A signal generator is a useful tool for various applications, including:

Testing and calibrating electronic devices: A signal generator can be used to send a known signal to an electronic device to test its performance or to calibrate it.

Generating reference signals: A signal generator can be used to produce a stable, accurate reference signal for use with other equipment.

Debugging circuits: A signal generator can be used to troubleshoot problems in a circuit by sending known signals and observing the behavior of the circuit.

Research and Development: A signal generator can be used in R&D to generate signals for testing new ideas or technologies.

Transmitting data: A signal generator can be used to transmit data in various applications, such as communication systems or in industrial control systems.
