Function Function generator Generator Signal

AI Thread Summary

To generate a pulsed signal on a function generator, users should refer to the device's manual for specific settings related to frequency (f=1/T) and duty cycle ((t_d/t)x100). The waveform design may vary based on the capabilities of the function generator being used. The necessity of tails in the waveform is questioned, suggesting that they may not be essential depending on the application. Users are encouraged to experiment with different settings to achieve the desired output. Understanding the function generator's features is key to successfully creating the intended pulse signal.

See attached file. I want to generate a waveform that looks like this using a function generator, where it repeats every f=1/T and the duty cycle is (t_d/t)x100.

That is something the manual should describe, it will depend on the function generator.
Are those tails necessary?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
