Abstract
Abstract A system for the direct synthesis of sine oscillations by means of a sine table which has a digital counter as its input. The output of the counter is also coupled to a logarithm device and from there to a digital analog converter. The converter is coupled to a controlled pulse generator which feeds the counter with a frequency which varies logarithmically with time.
