    Wavegen question

    Hi Guys,

    Please forgive this noobie question. But I would very much appreciate your thoughts.

    I have an oscilloscope that has a wavegen function. I'm using it to generate a standard sin wave with 12v peak to peak amplitude at 1hz. My questions are (and please forgive if these are dumb questions):

    1) Could I feed this into a full bridge rectifier to analyse its effect (i.e. see the sin wave going in and the unsmoothed DC coming out?

    2) Is this the same as passing a low voltage a/c source into the rectifier?

    3) If the above answer is no, then what do people use to wave gen function for?

    Many thanks. Once again, I may have asked a really stupid set of questions. Hey, you gotta start somewhere.

    1) google โ€œsignal generator full bridge rectifierโ€
    2) yes, just calculate in the voltage drop of each diode
    3) I use the tone generator for alignments or test signal in amplifiers, also can be used for pulse width modulation. I also used it to design battery desulfators etc. so this is very useful in designing, testing, modulating troubleshooting / repairing electronics like amplifiers or anything that has to do with analog audio. This being said, it isnโ€™t an rf generator (another type of signal generator).

    Put a small speaker to it and adjust it to sine wave, 1V peak to peak, 1000hz. You should hear a tone.

    No such thing than a stupid question. The only one being stupid would be the person not asking.
