Best Answer

A sine wave centered at zero will have a positive peak that is the same magnitude as the negative peak. This can be offset so the negative peak magnitude does not match the positive peak magnitude. For example a 1volt peak - neutral sine wave could be DC offset by 1 volt so the positive peak is at 2 volts and the negative peak is at 0.

4 what is the name of the circuit that adds a positive or negative dc voltage to an input sine wave?

This DC voltage is called the DC offset. Any decent signal generator will be able to add DC offset to the signal it generates. If you don't have one, simply connect a DC voltage to your signal.


How to removed a dc offset from the output of a frequency generator connected to a test circuit?

Run the test signal through a small isolation transformer.

What is the difference between audio generator and signal generator?

Audio generator will produce some range of frequency and level of a test signal meant for audio. A signal generator will produce a test signal but is a more general classification. For example a audio generator is a signal generator. When you know what type of signal you are looking for, then a signal generator will be called that type of signal. all depends on what you are testing. examples: video -> video signal generator audio -> audio signal generator


What is AC plus DC?

An offset AC wave. It will be offset by the magnitude of the DC applied.


Which is usually produced by a generator ac or DC?

An ac generator produces ac, a dc generator produces dc, it all depends on the generator.


What is AC offset?

Non-zero initial condition is called DC offset. DC offset is bad, and needs to be removed by HP filter as they cause distortion, non-linearity. If the mean/average amplitude of the wave is zero it has no DC-offset.

What is an excitation signal?

It is a DC voltage that is applied to the generator's revolving field windings. This produces a magnet field that cuts the generators main coil windings, inducing an electrical current within the main generator windings.
