Abstract

A digital phase-quadrature oscillator generates a series of sine values representative of a sine wave, and a series of cosine values representative of a cosine wave. In each iteration of the oscillator, a sum of the squares of past sine and cosine values is used as a negative feedback term in synthesizing next sine and cosine values, in order to stabilize the amplitudes of the sine and cosine values.
