Abstract

An electrical signal generator comprises an electric wave oscillator for producing oscillations at one or other of two predetermined frequencies, an attenuator device for attenuating oscillations produced by the oscillator in a manner which varies over a period of time, and control means for controlling the oscillator to produce a burst of oscillations at one said predetermined frequency and a subsequent burst of oscillations at the other said predetermined frequency. The control means controls the attenuator device increasingly to attenuate the oscillations over the period of each burst.
