ABSTRACT:
An amplitude-control system for a signal generator corrects for variations that occur in the amplitude of output signal upon changing of the specified frequency. It also corrects for errors that occur (due to non-linearity) in the amplitude of its output signal upon changing of the specified amplitude. The amplitude-control system performs both of the amplitude corrections simultaneously and very rapidly by means of an arrangement that employs mostly hardware and very little software. Look-up tables that are stored in memories are read directly instead of by a CPU, and a resulting control signal sets the gain of an amplifier that has voltage-controllable gain. The amplifier amplifies the uncorrected output of the signal generator so as to provide an output signal of corrected amplitude. Calibration is accomplished by automatically or semi-automatically by loading correction data into the memories to form look-up tables.
