DDS
What is DDS?
Definition
Direct digital synthesis (DDS) is a method for digitally generating analog waveforms, such as sine waves (modulated or not) or arbitrary waveforms.
In the most straightforward realization, a digitized sample of the waveform is stored and the values are clocked out to a D/A converter. Varying the clock rate changes the frequency. Variations in rate and changes to a gain factor can modulate the signal.
