Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) Controls Waveforms in Test, Measurement, and Communications

Direct Digital Synthesizers can generate frequencies from a few hertz to greater than 400 MHz with less than 1 degree phase resolution. They can quickly hop from one frequency to another—in a phase-continuous manner—without settling anomalies. DDS-based waveform generation is used to locate resonant frequencies in industrial applications and as agile frequency sources in RF communication systems.
