Various signals are an important part of correspondent area. In this area, sine wave,cosine waveforms, triangle wave ,sawtooth waveforms and square wave are common signals. In science research and teaching experiment, we often need the occurrence equipment of these signals. In order to make the experiment and research easier, to develop a suitable, full functional and easily used signals source is essential.
This paper describes an arbitrary waveform generator ( AWG ) based on SOPC, which can not only synthesize sine waveforms, cosine waveforms, square waveforms, triangle waveforms, sawtooth waveforms and other common waveforms, but also generate arbitrary waveforms with data edited and downloaded by PC software. It has advantages of easy control, stable output frequency, high quality waveform and wide bandwidth.
