摘要:
A method for approximating a continuous range of signals having sinusoidal waveforms with signals having trapezoidal waveforms, and for generating a continuous range of frequencies around a given center frequency. The method forms trapezoidal waveforms by a computational technique. A periodic triangular waveform is first formed by repetitiously adding and subtracting an amplitude increment at a succession of time intervals. The time intervals can be large, thereby allowing a low sampling frequency. The peaks of the triangular waveform are truncated to form the trapezoidal waveform. The method can be easily implemented within a standard arithmetic logic unit (ALU) structure.
摘要:
A function generator producing an output signal varying in predetermined non-linear relationship to an input signal wherein the input signal addresses a programmable read-only memory (PROM) which is programmed to produce readout signals linearly proportional to selected values of the input signal and readout signals corresponding to the predetermined non-linear function of the input signal at said selected values and the output signal is derived by interpolation between the consecutive selected input signals which bracket the input signal.

Herein is disclosed the method and apparatus for producing angular rotations of an input signal (phasor). The method involves phase shifting the input signal by a preselected amount, vectorially adding the input and the phase shifted signals, and then adjusting the amplitude of the sum phasor by a scalar multiplication operation. The addition and multiplication steps are repeated in a plurality of subsequent processing operations whereby various combinations of phasor signals produced during preceding steps are summed and amplitude adjusted to obtain a set of output signals having preselected phase values.

摘要:
A digital differential analyzer is arranged to compute the sum of the first n terms of a Taylor series representing a function of an independent variable where n is an odd integer greater than unity. It includes means for detecting changes in the independent variable and comparing them with two or more standard increment sizes and calculating the effect of an increment of the nearest standard increment size on the value of the function. A specific example for calculating sin theta and cos theta is described.

A TRANSCENDENTAL FUNCTION GENERATOR APPARATUS FOR TWOPART EVALUATION OF SINE AND COSINE FUNCTIONS, AS WELL AS OTHER FUNCTIONS, IS DESCRIBED. THE FIRST OF THE TWO PARTS RESEMBLES A DIVISION-LIKE ITERATION, WHILE THE SECOND OF THE TWO PARTS RESEMBLES A MULTIPLICATION-LIKE ITERATION. THE GENERATOR IS IMPLEMENTED WITH A STORAGE UNIT AND A TRANSCENDENTAL FUNCTION CONTROL UNIT.
