Wave Shaping Example1 — WaveWarp board

What it does

WaveShaping Example 1

Illustrates the use of the Wave Shaper block for performing Chebyshev polynomial wave shaping of a sinusoidal input signal. The Chebyshev polynomial shaping functions have the important property that they are intrinsically band-limited i.e. they do not introduce spurious spectral harmonics due to overlapping etc. Try varying the Chebyshev order to appreciate the effect of the modulation.
