4 Conclusion

Many applications can be designed using a sine wave generator. This application note has taken few applications and dealt with one case study of intruder detection in particular.

However, there are plenty of applications of a sine wave, because it forms the basic function for most of the electrical and electronic systems. Using the NCO module to generate a sine wave at any desired frequency and its advantages over the conventional PWM approach have also been covered. The use of the NCO is not limited to the generation of a sine wave. Any desired wave shape can be rendered to the resultant output when using a proper filter with an appropriate cutoff frequency.
