Method and apparatus for pulse generation

摘要

A method and apparatus for generating a desired pulse waveform including: dividing the desired pulse waveform into a plurality of line segments; assigning to each line segment at least a segment identification, a segment initial value, and a segment duration to form a waveform description; providing the waveform description to a pulse generator. The pulse generator is operable to produce a waveform corresponding to the waveform description and to output the produced waveform.

1. A method for generating a pulse waveform, said method comprising:
dividing a desired waveform into a plurality of line segments; describing each line segment by at least a segment identification, a segment initial value, and a segment duration to form a digital waveform description; providing said digital waveform description to a digitally controlled pulse generator, said digitally controlled pulse generator being operable to produce a waveform corresponding to said digital waveform description in response to said digital waveform description; and outputting said produced waveform.
