For many modern communication and measurement systems, continuous signals of wide bandwidth are required. Maximum length sequences generated in linear feedback shift registers are a proven way to generate signals meeting these criteria. We present a number of discrete implementations that allow signal generation in both laboratory and production environments with higher flexibility and lower initial cost than integrated solutions and analyze their jitter performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
