Multi-channel sinusoidal signal generator and method for generating multi-channel sinusoidal signals

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-channel sinusoidal signal generator and a method for generating multi-channel sinusoidal signals. By the adoption of the multi-channel sinusoidal signal generator and the method for generating the multi-channel sinusoidal signals, the sinusoidal signals of tens of or hundreds of channels can be directly generated, and the amplitude, the frequency, and the initial phase of each signal can be digitally set; synchronization of the signals of all channels or signals of a plurality of channels can be achieved, and phase difference can be set between every two same-frequency signals. A waveform generation circuit is composed of a single programmable logic device and multiple analog units. Each analog unit is controlled by an amplitude control signal, a phase frequency control signal and a public fundamental frequency square signal. At least 2N+1 control lines, for driving the N channel analog units, of the programmable logic device are arranged. According to the multi-channel sinusoidal signal generator, a storage, a DAC and an analog multiplier are not applied to the waveform generation circuit, and only one programmable logic device, N analog multi-channel switches, N four-operational-amplifiers and N dual-operation-amplifiers are adopted, so that the hardware cost is low, and an analog circuit is simple. The multi-channel sinusoidal signal generator and the method for generating the multi-channel sinusoidal signals are suitable for application occasions requiring one or more characteristics such as a large number of channels, channel synchronization, and channel isolation.

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multi-channel sinusoidal signal generator, in particular to a multi-channel sinusoidal signal generator with features as high as tens or even hundreds, requiring synchronization and the like. (2) Background technology [0002] The sinusoidal signal generator is the most basic signal generator. Because it can generate sinusoidal signals with variable amplitude, frequency and phase, it is usually used as an excitation source in electronic test systems and is widely used in power system simulation, sonar excitation, In applications such as medical diagnosis, it is necessary to apply multiple sinusoidal signals, and sometimes it is necessary to maintain a synchronous relationship and a certain phase relationship between the signals, which requires the use of a multi-channel sinusoidal signal generator.

Problems solved by technology

If the SPWM signal is directly generated by digital logic, there will be three problems: first, the frequency of the triangle wave generated by digital logic cannot be too high, which directly determines that the frequency of the sinusoidal signal is relatively low. The frequency of the sine signal is lower; second, the state of the SPWM signal will change multiple times within a sine wave cycle, resulting in jitter. When the amplitude is small, the jitter will seriously affect the waveform quality; third, the SPWM signal needs to use a sine wave data, it needs to occupy memory resources, which in turn severely restricts the increase in the number of sinusoidal signal channels

[0005] To sum up, the existing multi-channel signal generation methods and implementation technologies cannot directly generate signals with more than ten channels. When the number of channels increases, multiple programmable logic devices need to work in parallel, which will cause output signals due to different sources of clocks. and the problem of not being able to actually sync
