What type of frequency synthesizer circuit uses a phase accumulator, lookup table, digital-to-analog converter, and a low-pass anti-alias filter?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. A direct digital synthesizer
A direct digital synthesizer steps a phase accumulator, looks up waveform values in a table, converts them with a DAC, and then smooths the output with a low-pass filter.
Tip: DDS: accumulator, lookup table, DAC, filter.
