SUMMARY

To simulate a sine wave, users can utilize tools such as Excel, LTSpice IV, or Mathematica. Excel is recommended for basic sine wave generation, while LTSpice IV is suitable for more complex circuit simulations. Mathematica offers a straightforward syntax for plotting sine waves. Users seeking to visualize sine waves for experiments should consider these tools to obtain accurate representations of their data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of sine wave generation
  • Familiarity with Excel for data visualization
  • Knowledge of LTSpice IV for circuit simulation
  • Experience with Mathematica for mathematical plotting
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to generate sine waves using Excel functions
  • Explore LTSpice IV for simulating AC circuits
  • Study Mathematica's syntax for plotting mathematical functions
  • Research online plotter software options for sine wave visualization
USEFUL FOR

Students, engineers, and researchers in electronics or physics who need to visualize sine waves for experiments or presentations will benefit from this discussion.

Like what would be generated by an oscilloscope?

I only have a basic ac circuit with a resistor and capacitor

Thanks in advance

If all you want to do is generate a sine wave, just use Excel. Do you have access to Excel?

What are your goals for your simulation?

The more specific you can be the better the help that you will receive.

Thanks

I just need to take a screen shot of the sine wave that would have been produced when i conducted an experiment using an oscilloscope to show the phase angle and i don't have a copy of the one that i used.

You don't get a sine wave from a resistor and a capacitor...
 
Try LTSpice IV. See attachment.

Use Mathematica to plot a sine wave. It has a very simple syntax and short learning curve. Alternatively use a graphic calculator or any plotter software available online for free.

Thread 'uA709 op amp compensation'

Most likely this can only be answered by an "old timer". I am making measurements on an uA709 op amp (metal can). I would like to calculate the frequency rolloff curves (I can measure them). I assume the compensation is via the miller effect. To do the calculations I would need to know the gain of the transistors and the effective resistance seen at the compensation terminals, not including the values I put there. Anyone know those values?
