Figure 3–11: Analog generator simplified block diagram
Post Attenuator and Output Z Selector. The output impedance at this point is 5 W
per side for a 10 W output source impedance. A post amplification attenuator
providing 42 dB of attenuation is switched in when low amplitude signals are
generated. This attenuator reduces the level of noise associated with the output
amplifier so that the signal to noise ratio remains high at low output amplitudes.
Direct application of the generator signals to the Acquisition board is taken from
the circuitry at this low impedance point.
