A method and apparatus for synthesizing an approximation to a sine wave comprising generating a number of pulse width modulated signals, each having a predetermine duty cycle and being the same frequency as each other, from a clock signal. The generated pulse width modulated signals are then combined to produce an approximation to a sine wave having the same frequency as the pulse width modulated signals. The clock signal is provided by an oscillator arranged to produce clock signals over a continuous range of frequencies so that approximations to a sine wave can be produced over a continuous range of frequencies. |
