    Question

    What is the purpose of the modulation feature in a function generator?

    A.

    To increase the frequency range of the generator

    B.

    To improve the signal-to-noise ratio

    C.

    To generate different waveforms with a wide range of frequencies

    D.

    To reduce the amplitude of the output signal

    Correct option is C

    The primary purpose of the modulation feature in a function generator (or signal generator) is to simulate complex, real-world signals by modifying one signal (the carrier wave) with information from a second signal (the modulating wave). This allows the function generator to produce a variety of modulated signals (AM, FM, PM, etc.) that are used to test electronic equipment and communication systems. By applying modulation, the generated signal can cover a wider spectrum and mimic the characteristics of signals found in practical applications like radio broadcasting and wireless communication, making the generator more versatile.
