waveform generator
A waveform generator is an essential electronic device or circuit used to produce electrical signals of varying shapes, frequencies, and amplitudes. These signals are fundamental in testing, designing, and analyzing electronic systems. Waveform generators are widely used in laboratories, communication systems, and audio equipment.
A waveform generator is an electronic circuit that produces standard types of waveforms, such as square waves and triangular waves. These circuits are widely used in electronics for signal processing, testing, and communication applications.

Types of Waveform Generators
- Square Wave Generator
o Operates by the charging and discharging of a capacitor in a feedback loop involving an operational amplifier (op-amp).
o Produces alternating output voltages between +Vsat+V_{sat}+Vsat and −Vsat-V_{sat}−Vsat.
o Commonly used in digital systems, clock circuits, and timing applications. - Triangular Wave Generator
o A triangular wave is produced by integrating the output of a square wave generator.
o Ideal for audio testing, modulation techniques, and control systems.
