Title: AD9851 with Hantek 4202C
Post by: Deboscope on November 17, 2019, 10:01:16 am

Hi, I have ordered a AD9851 chip, what would be some interesting measurements to perform using this chip?
Excuse my newbiness.. :-DD

The AD9851 is a DDS chip that accepts a clock of up to 180 MHz and generates a sine wave output anywhere between millihertz and half the clock frequency. Without some supporting circuitry around this chip including a CPU to drive it you will not be doing much.

Please read the data sheet for the AD9851 again

Once you have the control circuit built then you can generate a range of frequencies and perhaps see the response of RF filters using your oscilloscope.
