FM synthesis can be notoriously tricky. For all the success of Yamaha's DX7 in the 1980s, its bafflingly mathematical system of operators and algorithms, and the seemingly endless parameter menus, ...

Frequency Modulation (or FM) synthesis is a simple and powerful method for creating and controlling complex spectra, introduced by John Chowning of Stanford University around 1973. In its simplest ...

[brmarcum] takes us back to analog building block basics with his Frequency Modulation and Demodulation tutorial. Frequency Modulation (FM) sounds simple at first, but understanding the electronics ...

"Where did all the knobs and sliders go?" It's no wonder that Yamaha's DX7 (and little brother DX9) caused such an upset when they were released in 1983. Gone were all the familiar controls, being ...

The master timing control circuit for most electronic applications is a precision signal source. For digital applications, it’s an accurate clock. In RF applications, it’s a carrier source for a ...

Based on a phase-refining technique that provides acombination of fast switching and low phase noise, the QuickSyn FSW-0020frequency synthesizer from Phase Matrix offers expanded coverage from 0.2 ...
