Unlike digital RF generators that produce only sine waves, function generators can produce repetitive waveforms of different shapes such as sine, square, triangular, sawtooth, and pulse. Function ...

Anyone searching for a function generator may be interested in a new DIY Arduino project which details how you can make your very own. “A function generator is a very useful tool, especially when we ...

Signal generators are a useful piece of kit to have on your electronics bench. The downside is that they tend to be rather expensive. If you have $100 to drop on a new toy, the MHS-5200A is a low cost ...

It’s always a pleasure to find a hardware hacker who you haven’t seen before, and page back through their work. [Bettina Neumryr]’s niche comes in building projects from old electronics magazines, and ...

Signal Hound, a manufacturer of precision test equipment, has released the VSG200, a 20 GHz vector signal generator (VSG) offering 40 MHz of real-time streaming bandwidth. The VSG200 expands their ...

Most of my Blog posts involve short 3-4 hour projects/hacks that I just build up for learning and fun. I thought it was time to develop something a bit more involved and share my design process in a ...

A former coworker friend sent me a Tektronix 3-slot mainframe and several plug-in modules (Fig. 1). The TM500-series mainframes are 1970s vintage, but like a lot of old test equipment, can still work ...
