1、PDF外文：http:/  - 1 -   All About Direct Digital Synthesis By Eva Murphy Colm Slattery What is Direct Digital Synthesis?  Direct digital synthesis (DDS) is a method of producing an analog waveform usually a sine wave by generating a time-varying signal in digital form and then perform

Because operations within a DDS device are primarily digital, it can offer fast switching between output frequencies, fine frequency resolution, and operation over a broad spectrum of frequencies. With advances in design and process technology, todays DDS devices

Whether providing agile sources of low-phase-noise variable-frequencies with good spurious performance for communications, or simply generating a frequency stimulus in industrial or biomedical test equipment applications, convenience, compactness, and low cost are important des

The frequency depends on two variables, the reference-clock frequency and the binar y number programmed into the frequency register (tuning word). &nb

13、sp;The binary number in the frequency register provides the main input to the phase accumulator. If a sine look-up table is used, the phase accumulator computes a phase (angle) address for the look-up table, which outputs the digital value of amplitude corresponding to the sine of that phase angle t

To generate a fixed-frequency sine wave, a constant value (the phase increment which is determined by the binary number) is added to the phase accumulator with each  Figure 2.
