A sine wave represents a wave, whether it be a water wave traveling toward a beach or a sound wave created by a single musical note. The figure below shows the components of a simple sine wave. In a ...

This simple circuit has been designed to generate sine waves with a frequency of 1 KHz while featuring low distortion and low output impedance until 1 V RMS as it obtains power from batteries. Sine ...

Adam Hayes, Ph.D., CFA, is a financial writer with 15+ years Wall Street experience as a derivatives trader. Besides his extensive derivative trading expertise, Adam is an expert in economics and ...

Med Dyer, Jabra Corp, San Diego, CAGenerating a square wave at a particular frequency is fairly simple. Many techniques for doing so exist, using counters, flip-flops, and–everyone's favorite–the ...

Sometimes, there are too many choices in this world. My benchtop function generator can output a sine, square, or saw wave anywhere from 0.01 Hz up to 60 MHz? Way too many choices. At least, that’s ...

The circuit of Figure 1 generates sinusoids down to very low frequencies with distortion in the region of 3% or less, yet has no feedback or gain-stabilizing components because none are needed. It ...

The seismic signals from volcanoes are complex waves that result from multiple single waves that occur simultaneously. To help students understand how a complex wave is formed, tell them that in this ...
