Tool/software:
Dear Sir/Madam,
We are currently designing a system using the ADS1291 for an ECG application. During testing, we used a RIGOL DG1032 waveform generator to produce a sine wave signal (5 mV, 0.5 Hz – 500 Hz).
We observed that at higher frequencies (above 200 Hz), the sine wave begins to exhibit an amplitude modulation effect, resembling an envelope distortion coupled by a low-frequency signal around 1.4 Hz to 1.5 Hz, as shown in the image below.
Could you please advise what might be causing this envelope-like distortion?
We suspect it may be related to the waveform generator or an interaction with the ADS1291 input configuration, but would appreciate your insight.
Thank you for your support!
BR
Joe
