Measuring Signal Generators: Theory and Design

Abstract

The book brings together the following issues: Theory of deterministic, random and discrete signals reproducible in oscillatory systems of generators, Generation of periodic signals with a specified spectrum, harmonic distortion factor and random signals with specified probability density function and spectral density, Synthesis of oscillatory system structures, Analysis of oscillatory systems with non-linear elements and oscillation amplitude stabilization systems, It considers the conditions and criteria of steady-state modes in signal generators on active four-pole elements with unidirectional and bidirectional transmission of signals and on two-pole elements, analogues of Barkhausen criteria, Optimization of oscillatory system structures by harmonic distortion level, minimization of a frequency error and set-up time of the steady state mode, Theory of construction of random signal generators, Construction of discrete and digital signal generators, Practical design of main units of generators, Practical block diagrams of both analog and digital signal generators.
