In digital communications, chirp spread spectrum (CSS) is a spread spectrum technique that uses wideband linear frequency modulated chirp pulses to encode information. [1] A chirp is a sinusoidal signal whose frequency increases or decreases over time (often with a polynomial expression for the relationship between time and frequency).
Sweep generator in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, 1950. A sweep generator is a piece of electronic test equipment similar to, and sometimes included on, a function generator which creates an electrical waveform with a linearly varying frequency and a constant amplitude.
Intersil ICL8038 ICL8038 operation (simplified; sine wave is derived from the triangular wave). The ICL8038 waveform generator was an Integrated circuit by Intersil designed to generate sine, square and triangular waveforms, [1] based on bipolar monolithic technology involving Schottky barrier diodes.

A signal generator is one of a class of electronic devices that generates electrical signals with set properties of amplitude, frequency, and wave shape. These generated signals are used as a stimulus for electronic measurements, typically used in designing, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing electronic or electroacoustic devices, though it often has artistic uses as well.
An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a piece of electronic test equipment used to generate electrical waveforms. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] These waveforms can be either repetitive or single-shot (once only) in which case some kind of triggering source is required (internal or external).
Salter's duck, also known as the nodding duck or by its official name the Edinburgh duck, is a device that converts wave power into electricity. The wave impact induces rotation of gyroscopes located inside a pear-shaped "duck", and an electrical generator converts this rotation into electricity with an overall efficiency of up to 90%.
A DDS function generator. Direct digital synthesis ( DDS ) is a method employed by frequency synthesizers used for creating arbitrary waveforms from a single, fixed-frequency reference clock. DDS is used in applications such as signal generation , local oscillators in communication systems, function generators , mixers, modulators , [ 1 ] sound ...
Categorization for signal modulation based on data and carrier types. In electronics and telecommunications, modulation is the process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a separate signal called the modulation signal that typically contains information to be transmitted.
