A perspective on advanced signal generation techniques

Aldo Baccigalupi, Mauro D’Arco, Annalisa Liccardo
Abstract:
The functionalities of signal sources have kept the pace with the mounting complexity of the available systems. It could appear, that the types of signal sources nowadays available on the market allow the user to satisfy every need in test and measurement applications. On the contrary, despite the wide range of functionalities provided by the very last generation sources, there is still room to imagine challenges and propose hypothetical architectures of generators suitable to face them. The speculative case of architectures made up of multiple direct digital synthesizers (DDS) circuits that operate synchronously to produce non periodic signals and emulate interesting scenarios is discussed.
