Signal generators are widely used in experimental courses of universities. However, most of the commercial tests signal generators are expensive and bulky. In addition, a majority of them are in a fixed working mode with many little-used signals. In order to improve this situation, a small sized and highly accurate economic signal generator based on DDS technology has been developed, which is capable of providing wave signals commonly used in experiments. Firstly, it is introduced the basic principles of DDS and is determined the overall scheme of the signal generator. Then, it proposes a design of the hardware, which include power supply module, display module, keyboard module, waveform generating module based on DDS chip, and the minimum system module based on C8051F010. The signal generator was designed to output sine and square waveforms, and the other achieved performances included the frequency range 0.1 Hz–12.5 MHz, the frequency resolution 0.05 Hz–0.1 Hz, the output amplitude 1.0–4.5 V, the frequency accuracyKfmin=94.12% andKfmax=99.99%, and the signal distortionRTHDmin=0.638% andRTHDmax=11.67%.

In view of the digital geophone self-test system application demand for a variety of high quality waveform signal. This paper introduces a kind of design method of direct digital synthesis waveform signal generator based on FPGA. It mainly discusses the principle of the method of frequency synthesis technology, design thinking and implementation method. And using the design method of pipeline structure to improve circuit structure of 48 bits phase accumulator, so as to improve the running speed, and further increase the resolution of frequency synthesis. The test shows that the signal generator can produce sine wave, square wave, sawtooth wave, triangle wave. The frequency resolution can reach 0.18μHz. The highest output frequency is up to 20MHz, and frequency switch time is 20ns.

A new quadrature signal generator based on Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) algorithm for digital demodulation of MEMS gyroscope was proposed in this paper. To avoid quantization error, the dual-accumulator with signal-ROM structure was adopted. This signal generator was realized in FPGA chip, which could be quit compact to realize all digital demodulation in one chip. Simulations and tests of the generator were carried out. The test results demonstrate that the signal generator achieves high stability. The standard deviation of the frequency is 0.075Hz and the standard deviation of the amplitude is 0.037mV.

This paper analyzes the function of chirp. A design solution based on SOPC technology chirp signal put forward after the function had been studied both the hardware design and implement method. The chirp signal generator based on SOPC is designed according to the design process of Matlab/Simulink/DSP Builder/ QuartusII. The generator can produce the chirp signal well which is verified by the Matlab/Simulink and QuartusII. The starting frequency, bandwidth, and frequency resolution of chirp signal can be revamped by utilizing SOPC technology. This method is easier to implement since it is simple to design, easy to modify, low cost, no programming.

This paper describes a new, 50 MHz auroral radar system, named SAPPHIRE, which observes at two locations in Canada: SAPPHIRE SOUTH, in the auroral zone and SAPPHIRE NORTH at nominal cusp latitudes in the vicinity of the polar cap – auroral zone boundary. SAPPHIRE was designed to offer superior time and frequency resolution for studies of the geophysical phenomena in the observing regions and to provide a better insight into the plasma processes responsible for the radio scattering. The radars are continuous-wave, dual bistatic systems with two transmitters and two receivers (both at a common receiver location) in each radar system. This configuration provides two-dimensional estimates of the phase velocities in the region of the scatterers. The systems were designed for unattended operation at remote sites and are controlled via modems using conventional telephone service. There are a number of innovative parts to the design of this radar. All frequencies used in the transmitter and receivers are generated using direct digital synthesis which gives independent and accurate control of both frequency and phase. The data collection system uses extensive parallel processing via a custom design of INMOS "transputers" in order to handle the large amount of data received per day. This data collection system only stores data for those times when the observed echoes fulfill some minimum threshold conditions. The most interesting aspects of the electronic design are described and some representative data from SAPPHIRE SOUTH are presented.
