Abstract
A digital frequency synthesizer comprises means for the generation of the samples of a digital signal to be converted into an analog signal encoded on N bits as a function of a frequency control word, means for the generation of a noise signal encoded on N bits, and a digital-analog converter, the useful signal and the noise signal being truncated to M bits before being added up by an adder. The result of the addition is converted into analog signal form by the digital-analog converter. The generated noise has at least a noise density substantially equal to a law of equiprobability, this density being zero outside a given space. Application especially to direct digital synthesis, for example in the field of radar techniques or that of instrumentation.
