Wien bridge oscillator math

Though I don't know the distortion that can be achieved, the Analog Devices DDS chips seem to be the way to go these days in terms of function generators.

These look amazing! I will definitely look into these for future projects... assuming I can find a DIP or breakout board. Surface mount is definitely out of my league.

Like I said a few posts back, some tuner manufacturers had suspicious specs but if we read the 1978 Yamaha T-2 owner's manual they say they used the following instruments to measure their tuner.

VHF SG: Meguro MSG-297 or 296
VHF SG: GE501
stereo moduluator: Meguro MSG-211 (one of the best ever btw)
Distortion analyzer HP4333A

All very credible.

and finally the
The T-2 spec is 0.05%

hope that clarifies

It does. Now I'm going to go buy a T2 and check it out. Thx-RNMarsh

I just mention the T-2 because I had the info handy.. but it is a very good tuner, but there are other possible choices too...this one is not low cost but a keeper. They do appear from time to time.

depends what you need, RF performance or sound quality or both... or convenience like memory presets etc...
