Chapter 17 Signal Generation

Figure 17-4. Multitone Signal with Random Phase Difference between Adjacent Tones

In addition to being more noise-like, this signal is also much less sensitive to phase distortion. Multitone signals with this sort of phase relationship generally achieve a crest factor between 10 and 11 dB.

Swept Sine versus Multitone

To characterize a system you often must measure the response of the system at many different frequencies. There are several methods to do this, including swept/stepped sine and multitone.

The swept sine is a process of continuously and smoothly changing the frequency of a sine wave across a range of frequencies. The stepped sine approach provides a single sine tone of fixed frequency as the stimulus for a certain time and then increments the frequency by a discrete amount. This process is continued until all the frequencies of interest have been reached.

A multitone signal composed of multiple sine tones has significant advantages over the swept sine and stepped sine approaches. For a given range of frequencies, the multitone approach can be much faster than the equivalent swept sine measurement, due mainly to settling time issues. For a stepped sine measurement, for each sine tone, you must wait for the settling time of the system to be over before starting the measurement. The settling time issue for a swept sine can be even more complex. If the system has low frequency poles/zeroes, or high Q resonances then the system may
