Direct Digital Synthesizers (DDS) and Modulators, Analog Devices
A Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) is versatile device are used for the creation of arbitrary analogue waveforms from a fixed-frequency reference clock. They can be used in many application areas such as signal generation, communication systems, function generators and sound synthesizers.
