Abstract
A signal generator with direct digital synthesis and tacking filter to generate an oscillator signal. A digital signal generator generates a digital signal; a digital to analog converter is connected to an output of the digital signal generator and converts the digital signal to an analog signal; a filter is coupled to an output of the DAC and filters the analog signal and generates the oscillator signal; a comparator is coupled to an output of the filter and generates a signal indicating zero crossings of the filter output signal; a digital control unit is coupled to outputs of the digital signal generator and comparator and generates a control signal to tune the filter to track a center frequency of the generated oscillator signal. The control signal is generated based on adjacent samples values from the digital signal generator before and after zero crossings of the filter output signal.
