Adding a DC source to a square wave signal will alter the base line of the wave without changing the peak-to-peak value.
For example, if a square wave has a +4V baseline and a +2VDC source is introduced, the resulting square wave will have a +6V baseline. This of course will also affect the high and low peaks of the signal. Assuming that our example has a high peak of +9V and a low peak of -1V (with a total of 10V peak-to-peak), the added +2VDC source would result in a high peak of +11V and a low peak of +1V; however, the total peak-to-peak value remains unchanged at 10V peak-to-peak.
To generate a square wave current from an AC source, you can use a solid-state device like a transistor or a thyristor as a switch, controlling the timing of when the current flows. By rapidly turning the switch on and off at a specific frequency, you can create a square wave output. Alternatively, you can use a waveform generator or function generator to directly produce a square wave signal that can be fed into a load. Ensure that the circuit components can handle the resulting voltage and current levels of the square wave.

As a sinusoidal signal is clipped the waveform approaches a square wave.
It does not have to be. Voltage can be DC, sinusoidal, square wave, triangular wave, etc.
if the speedometer works off of an input wave (sinusoidal signal) you would think the signal generator would be a source of reference
A: square wave can be positive and or negative. A digital signal is a square wave but it can be of invariable duty cycles

It is more reasonable to use square wave rather than sine wave signal to determine slew rate. Both signal sources serve as a functional generator with the sine wave providing high purity waves.Ê
The amplitude of a wave can be increased by changing the energy or force producing the wave. This can be done by increasing the magnitude of the source creating the wave, such as by increasing the power of a sound source or increasing the voltage of an electrical signal. Additionally, the amplitude of a wave can also be increased by using a device that amplifies the signal, such as an amplifier for an electrical signal or a horn for a sound wave.

An oscillator is an electronic circuit or device that generates a repetitive, oscillating signal, typically in the form of a sine wave, square wave, or triangular wave. It converts direct current (DC) from a power source into an alternating current (AC) signal and is commonly used in applications such as clocks, radios, and signal processing. Oscillators can be categorized as linear or nonlinear, and they play a crucial role in communications, audio equipment, and various electronic systems.
AC sinewave
You can obtain a square wave from using two zener diodes which have a threshold significantly under the sinusoidal signal. For example: An input sinusoidal signal at 50V with two 10V zener diodes, the first in foward bias and the second in reverse bias. The output voltage will have a square wave form with 20V peak to peak.
