Short summary

To assess the performance of the developed EM receivers, this paper presents a multifunctional waveform generator with three waveforms: 1) a wideband, low-noise electromagnetic field signal to be used for magnetotelluric, audio-magnetotelluric, and long-period magnetotelluric studies; 2) a repeating frequency sweep square waveform for CSAMT and SIP studies; and 3) a “positive-zero–negative-zero” signal that contains primary and secondary fields for time-domain-induced polarization studies.
