Test Signals in the Digital Domain
In September of 1974, a paper titled “The Use of Digital Techniques in Television Waveform Generation”(1) was given by J.P. Chambers at the IBC Conference in London. Following the presentation of Chamber's paper, a research effort was initiated at Tektronix, Inc. into the feasibility of developing an all-digital test-signal generator for commercial use. In April of 1980, this effort culminated in the introduction of the TEKTRONIX 1900 Digital Test Signal Generator. This paper will discuss some of the observations and potential applications of digital test-signal generation that were noted during that research and design effort.
