Arbitrary waveform generator based on the Berlekamp-Massey Algorithm

Abstract

This article proposes an arbitrary waveform generator based on the Berlekamp-Massey Algorithm (BMA) modified to operate in the Real field. The main application for the proposed generator is in integrated mixed circuits test, particularly analog-to-digital converters. Simulations of the proposed generator were performed using MatLab® software. Results for different waveforms (input sequence) generated by the proposed generator is showed, applying different threshold values in BMA.
