Abstract

A dynamic range tester which simultaneously generates two signals, each of hich is composed of a clean signal plus an excess quantity of independent and isolated random noise is disclosed for use in producing real world signals which can be used to provide a simulated operating environment within which to evaluate the dynamic range or evaluate the processing gain of an electronic or acousto-optic system. The power level of the signal and power level of the noise in each of the two outputs of the dynamic range tester can be independently varied such that a range of signal-to-noise ratios may be set-up in each output.
