Abstract

A tone generator operates in a multiplicative (19) manner with respect to a reference signal (20) for providing a selectable sequence of tones. A digital calibration coefficient is constructed for at least one tone for modifying (22) the reference signal to a value that produces a predetermined output amplitude for the tone. The coefficient is stored (16) for subsequent recall each time the predetermined output amplitude for the tone is required.
