When requiring the steady-state characteristic of carrying out system to measure, the sine signal source that amplitude, frequency are known need be used.When the transient response of test macro, need again the rectangular pulse source using leading edge time, pulse duration and repetition period known.And require the parameter that signal source outputs signal, as frequency, waveform, output voltage or power etc., accurate adjustment can be carried out within the specific limits, have good stability have and export instruction.

Signal source according to the difference of output waveform, can be divided into the four large classes such as sine wave signal generating means, rectangular pulse signal generating means, function signal generating means and random signal generating means.

Sinusoidal signal is most popular test signal, this is because the Measures compare producing sinusoidal signal is simple, and measures more convenient by sinusoidal signal.

Sinusoidal signal generator: sinusoidal signal is mainly used in the frequency characteristic of measuring circuit and system, nonlinear distortion, gain and sensitivity etc.Low-frequency signal generating device, high-frequency signal generation device and microwave signal generating means is divided into by frequency coverage; Simple signal generating means (i.e. signal source), standard signal generating means (power output can decay to below-100 dBms exactly) and power signal generating means (power output reaches more than tens of milliwatt) is divided into by output level adjustable extent and stability; Tuner-type signal generation apparatus, sweep-frequency Békésy audiometer signal generation apparatus, program control type signal generation apparatus and frequency synthesising type signal generation apparatus etc. are divided into by the mode of frequency shift.

Low-frequency signal generating device comprises the sine-wave generator of audio frequency (200 ~ 20000 hertz) and video (1 hertz ~ 10 megahertz) scope.Master-oscillator generally uses RC formula oscillator, also can use beat frequency oscillator.For ease of the frequency characteristic of test macro, require to export the gentle wave distortion of amplitude-frequency characteristic little.

High-frequency signal generation device, frequency is the high frequency of 100 kilo hertzs ~ 30 megahertzes, the very high frequency(VHF) signal generation apparatus of 30 ~ 300 megahertzes.General employing LC tuned resonator, frequency can be read by the circular graduation of tuning capacitor, main application measures the technical indicator of various receiver, and output signal useable internal or additional Low Frequency Sine Signals amplitude modulation or frequency modulation, enable output carrier voltage decay to below 1 microvolt.

Microwave signal generating means, from decimeter wave until the signal generation apparatus of millimeter wave band.Signal usually by ultrahigh frequency triode and the reflex klystron generation of band distributed constant resonant cavity, but has gradually by the trend of the solid state device replacements such as microwave transistor, field effect transistor and Gunn diode.Instrument generally changes frequency by mechanical tuning cavity, and about every platform can cover an octave, the signal power be coupled out by cavity generally can reach more than 10 milliwatts.Simple signal source is only required and can be added 1000 hertz of square wave amplitude modulation, and standard signal generating means then can by output reference level adjustment to 1 milliwatt, then from after with the dBm value of attenuator read output signal level; Also must there be inner or additional rectangular pulse amplitude modulation, to test the receivers such as radar.

Existing sinusoidal signal generator can only a kind of signal of single output, and as low frequency signal, high-frequency signal or microwave signal, the sinusoidal signal generator how providing one kind of multiple signals to export is current problem demanding prompt solution.
