Presentation on DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF FUNCTION GENERATOR TO GENERATE SQUARE, TRIANGULAR, SINE, PULSE TRAIN, FM AND AM WAVES
A function generator is a instruments that delivers a choice of different waveforms whose frequency are adjustable over a wide range. The most common output waveforms are sine, square, triangular, pulse-train wave’s .The frequency of the waveforms may be adjusted from a fraction of a 10Hz to several hundred kHz.

CONCLUSION
To design, construct and performance test of function generator is the basic purpose of our project. Our project work is already completed. The constructed circuit is very nicely working. It can be used to test and align all types of transmitters and receivers, to measure frequency and to generate a signal, waveform or noise source. Signal generators can use AC energy, audio frequency (AF) and radio frequency (RF) to function. They are generally used in designing, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing electronic or electro acoustic devices. By studying books, searching internet, discussing with our teacher we got an idea about the work.
