A constant-amplitude random function generator

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The constant-amplitude random function generator described in this report resulted from the need for an electronic generator which would combine some of the properties of random noise waveshapes with the known characteristics of periodic, constant-amplitude waves. In this instance, a wave shape was desired which had as a main feature a constant peak-to-peak amplitude, but whose path between peaks was in some way randomly chosen.
