Abstract
The invention concerns a sensor simulation system. The simulation system (1) comprises a generator (3) that generates a digital si by direct digital frequency synthesis, based on the following parameters: a frequency, an amplitude, a phase and amplitude shift; a digital/analog converter (4), and a means (6) that modulates the signal received from said converter (4).

1-8. (canceled)
A simulation system for simulating the operation of a sensor intended to convert digitized physical parameters into electrical signals, said simulation system (1) comprising at least one simulation assembly (2) that comprises:
- a generator (3) that enables generation, by direct digital frequency synthesis, of a digital signal taking account of at least the following parameters:
- a frequency, an amplitude, a phase and an amplitude offset;
- a digital-analog converter (4) that converts the digital signal generated by said generator (3) into an analog signal;
- and
- a calculation means (6):
- that produces a modulation of the analog signal received from said converter (4) so as to form an electrical signal capable of simulating the operation of said sensor;
- and
- that transmits the electrical signal thus formed;
- wherein it comprises, in addition, a single generation means (12) able to generate a carrier that allows a modulation to be produced and which is linked to all the calculation means (6) of said simulation system (1), along with a synchronization means (9).
