Digital spectra of nonuniformly sampled signals. II. Digital look-up tunable sinusoidal oscillators

For Part I see ibid., vol.37, no.2, June 1988. The author presents theories and applications of a digital spectrum analysis technique for a class of nonuniformly sampled signals. The structure of the harmonic components present in a digitally synthesized sine wave is analyzed using a table look-up method. The digital table look-up method offers several desirable features, such as high-frequency stability and precision control of both the frequency and the phase of the generated sine wave. However, undesirable spurious harmonic components are generated when one tries to tune to different frequencies by manipulating the memory-addressing mechanism rather than loading a new waveform sample into the waveform memory, which is generally time-consuming and sometimes infeasible. The frequencies, amplitudes, and phrases of all the spurious harmonic components are derived in closed form.<
