3. What is Signal Generator?
Is electronic device that generate repeating or non-repeating electronic signals
They are generally used in designing, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing
electronic devices

4. There are many different types of signal generators, with different purposes and applications
I. Function generators
II. Analog signal generators
III. Vector signal generators

5. Function Generator Definition:
Is usually a piece of electronic test equipment or software used to
generate different types of electrical
Waveform over a wide range
of frequencies.
Some of the most common waveforms produced by the function generator are:
The sine, square, triangular and sawtooth shapes.

6. Function generator controls
Frequency:
this control alters the basic frequency
at which the waveform repeats.
Waveform type:
sine, Square or Triangular wave.
DC offset:
This alters the average voltage of a signal relative to 0V or ground.
Duty cycle:
This control on the function generator changes the ratio of high voltage to low voltage
time in a square wave signal

7. Usages Of Function Generator:
Function generators are used in the development, test and repair of
electronic equipment.
Example:
They may be used as a signal source to test amplifiers or to introduce
an error signal into a control loop

8. Function Generator Specifications:
Produces sine, square, triangular, sawtooth (ramp), and pulse output.
It can generate a wide range of frequencies.
AM or FM modulation may be supported.
Output amplitude up to 10V peak to peak.
An output impedance of 50 ohms.
Note: These are some of the specifications there are other specifications due to the number of different types available ranging from analogue to digital, and according to their cost.

9. How To Build a Function Generator
