Looking at a sine wave, describe how the ROM in a

DDS could use only one-fourth of the memory locations
to store the sine look-up table.
Using 2^N to solve for the no. of memory locations. After getting the no. of memory
locations, it must be multiplied by 1/4 so that we may know the no. of memory locations
wherein data will be stored to the ROM. The product will be the constant C from eqn f_o
= C*f_clk / 2^N. For every clock pulse, the counter value will be incremented by the
numerical value of C. Example, for a 4-bit accumulator register, only 4 amplitude values
are stored to the ROM

5. Why are linear power amplifiers used in modern something something?

Linear amplifiers provide an output signal that is an identical, enlarged replica of the
input. Their output is directly proportional to their input, and they therefore faithfully
reproduce an input, but at a higher power level. Because most modern digital circuits
require linear amplification to retain the modulating signal information
Most audio amplifiers are linear. Linear RF amplifiers are used to increase the power
level of variable-amplitude RF signals such as low-level AM or SSB signals. Most
modern digital modulation techniques such as spread spectrum, QAM and orthogonal
frequency division mulitplex (OFDM) require linear amplification to retain the modulating
signal information.
