A signal generator is an important piece of electronic test equipment, but commercial signal generators can cost a bundle. With this book, you can learn how to generate almost any kind of electronic signal you need without emptying your wallet.

Filled with interesting and useful subassembly projects, "Build Your Own Low-Cost Signal Generator" features one complete project-- an inexpensive signal generator with a wide array of electronics applications, including troubleshooting, repair, and circuit design. Respected electronics author Delton T. Horn provides you with complete circuits and parts lists for generating signals of all types, ranging from direct current to complex digital synthesis.

Some of the signals you'll learn about include:

Sine waves

Amplitude and frequency modulation

Op amp-generated square and rectangular waves

Sawtooth and staircase waves

Special-purpose waveforms

Pink-noise and white-noise generators

IC-based signal generators
