Three phase sine wave amplitude control

Hi all, I want to control the amplitude of 3 phase sine wave via following option:

  1. With help of PGA(programmable gain amplifiers) with good resolution
2.with analog switch & resistor network

I know in both ways it is possible, bt i wanna know in which way it will be less costly n provide best resolution of gain.(PGA & analog switches both r costly)

I m generation three phase sine wave by analog Quad DAC... kindely suggest any new idea to solve this issue.. regards, pravin

I have done a similar thing, but I simply implemented the amplitude control in the processor because I already had a numeric angle control signal. If you have an external angle control signal maybe you can digitize it and feed it into your processor (assuming you use some kind of controller).

As Deefoo pointed out, if you're generating your sine wave by a processor, why not do the multiply internally?

Multiplying DACs can be quite inexpensive. With a bit of thinking you can make them two-quadrant devices, and have your 'analog switch & resistor network' in a package for less than two bucks from Digi-Key.
