2. Signal generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_generator

   An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG or ARB) is a sophisticated signal generator that generates arbitrary waveforms within published limits of frequency range, accuracy, and output level. Unlike a function generator that produces a small set of specific waveforms, an AWG allows the user to specify a source waveform in a variety of different ways.

3. Function generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_generator

   A completely different approach to function generation is to use software instructions to generate a waveform, with provision for output. For example, a general-purpose digital computer can be used to generate the waveform; if frequency range and amplitude are acceptable, the sound card fitted to most computers can be used to output the generated wave.

4. Pulse generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_generator

   Pulse generators are also used to drive devices such as switches, lasers and optical components, modulators, intensifiers, and resistive loads. The output of a pulse generator may also be used as the modulation signal for a signal generator. Non-electronic applications include those in material science, medical, physics, and chemistry.

5. Direct digital synthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_digital_synthesis

   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 ...

6. Network analyzer (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_analyzer_(electrical)

   The network analyzer needs a test signal, and a signal generator or signal source will provide one. Older network analyzers did not have their own signal generator, but had the ability to control a stand-alone signal generator using, for example, a GPIB connection. Nearly all modern network analyzers have a built-in signal generator.

7. Arbitrary waveform generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary_waveform_generator

   The BK Precision model 4078 Dual Channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator uses direct digital synthesis to generate waveforms up to 400,000 points HAMEG HMF 2550 digital AWG under an oscilloscope displaying the generated waveform. An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a piece of electronic test equipment used to generate electrical waveforms.

8. Sweep generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweep_generator

   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.

9. Digital pattern generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_pattern_generator

   Digital pattern generators are today available as stand-alone units, add-on hardware modules for other equipment such as a [logic analyzer] or as PC-based equipment.. Stand-alone units are self-contained devices that include everything from the user interface to define the patterns that should be generated to the electronic equipment that actually generates the output signal.
