What is a sine sweep?
A sine sweep is a sine function that gradually changes frequency over time. The sine sweep can also be called "sinusoidal sweep," "frequency sweep", or "chirp".
What does a sweep generator do?
A sweep generator is a piece of electronic test equipment similar to, and sometimes included on, a function generator which creates an electrical waveform with a linearly varying frequency and a constant amplitude. Sweep generators are commonly used to test the frequency response of electronic filter circuits.
What are the types of sweep generator?
The three types of voltage sweep generators considered in this chapter include exponential sweep generators, Miller's sweep generators, and bootstrap sweep generators.
