Additional Description

Abstract

This report describes the theory and implementation of a direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDS). This synthesizer will be used as a high resolution signal generator with an output frequency range of 25 Hz to 100 kHz, in 25 Hz steps. The report will provide a description of the realization of the DDS control system which enables the frequency synthesis, using a computer hardware description language to configure and implement the entire control system within a single programmable logic device. An introduction to the applications and other means of frequency synthesis is the first part of this report, then the theoretical analysis of the DDS is given. Finally, a description of the design and realization of a discrete component prototype including hardware measurements and a simulation of the computer hardware description of the DDS control system.
