Rybin Y.K. Measuring Signal Generators. Theory & Design

Springer, 2014. — xix, 488 p. — (Signals and Communication Technology). — ISBN: 978-3-319-02833-0.The development and improvement of measuring signal generators is one of the most important directions in the instrument making industry, which makes a significant contribution to the general technological progress. These devices generate signals to have a desired effect on measured objects or to be used for control and monitoring. They serve as a key component in preparation and implementation of experiments aimed at studying objects of different physical nature.
By now, the industry has successfully commercialized and continues to produce a number of perfect sine wave and special waveform generators.
The review of the best Russian and foreign devices that have been manufactured over the last years shows that sine wave generators are improved in the following directions: decrease in the output voltage harmonic distortion; increase in accuracy and stability of the oscillation amplitude; decrease in transient time of the oscillation amplitude; increase in accuracy and stability of the oscillation frequency; expansion of the functionality through adding different modes of operations, including programmable ones.
This book is a summary of the author’s long-term experience in the development, design, and commercialization of low-frequency signal generators. The book includes nine chapters and three appendices, a glossary, a list of abbreviations and symbols, and an index. All chapters are mutually independent, i.e., they can be read and studied independently of one another.Theory and Praxis of Measuring Signal Generators.
