After several failed attempts at rigging up a solution with a function generator in series with a power supply, I came up with the circuit shown in Figure 1 . This circuit itself is the product of ...

Commercial curve tracers have existed for decades. But designers without access to one can create a simple circuit that uses a function generator and oscilloscope to generate JFET transfer and ...

“A function generator is a very useful tool, especially when we are considering testing our circuit’s response to a certain signal.” Explains its creator and Instructables member Faransky.

If you have a modern function generator on your bench it is quite likely to contain a direct-digital synthesis circuit that creates arbitrary waveforms using a microprocessor controlled DAC.

For this example, I'll use the new Rigol DSA815TG and the built-in tracking generator indeed sweeps the same frequency range (9 kHz to 1.5 GHz) as the spectrum analyzer. When activated, the tracking ...
