The frequency synthesis method applied by the Instek SFG-830 is Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS), a new technique that generates stable output frequency with extraordinary resolution.
Unlike SFG-830, traditional frequency synthesized function generators typically use Phase Locked Loop (PLL) techniques. In order to synthesize frequencies, PLL should be high-resolution (up to 1:106 in general) and needs a stable frequency to be referenced. Due to the utilization of dynamic loop filter, problems such as poor phase jitter and frequency switching response may occur when running the PLL system. As in generating waveforms, PLL needs a wave-shaping circuit with an address counter that controlled by a variable frequency clock. The counter addresses memory locations in a waveform RAM, and the RAM output is converted by a high speed digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to produce an analog output signal.
Problems like poor phase jitter and transient response may arise here as well. Although DDS also generates analogue waveforms by way of the waveform RAM and high speed DAC, it does not have the problems as PLL does due to the use of fixed frequency clock (fs). Besides, the resolution of DDS is higher than that of PLL’s. DDS’s resolution is fs/2k where the digit of the control frequency word (K), which is more than 32bits in general, decides the quality of it.

I just want to thank you and the staff at Artisan for your prompt dispatch of the 34401A main board. I got it a couple of hrs. ago, removed the old board, installed the new and the result is as shown in the attachment. It not only works, but is calibrated to the last digit! I am very pleased and will definitely recommend your firm to my friends and colleagues. I really appreciate doing business with a firm that values service.

We bought a Parker Compumotor Controller for our press and installed it 2 weeks ago. Easy fix for our machine and it is working perfect.
- Brian S.
Artisan saved us headaches and money by helping us find a replacement Tektronix VXI module. Finding quality replacement parts is difficult and I'm glad they had what I needed.
