Rohde & Schwarz wins coveted Leap innovation award
A vector signal generator covering both existing wireless frequencies as well as bands in the emerging 5G area won its creator, Rohde & Schwarz, a 2021 Leap Award. The Leap Award competition addresses products across 12 categories. More than 100 entrants were received for the annual event which celebrates the most innovative and forward-thinking products […]
Music synthesis and arbitrary waveform generators
A pure musical note from a tuning fork is a basic sine wave. The same note played on a trumpet will look like a saw-tooth wave when displayed on an oscilloscope. The same note from a flute will be a triangular wave. But the same note from a clarinet may appear to be closer to […]
ARB waveform generators and measuring amplifier gain
When it comes to amplification, the principal parameters are gain and fidelity of the output relative to the input. Gain, denoted by β (Greek letter beta), is the ratio of output voltage, current or power to input. An amplifier by definition has a power gain greater than one. Measurements that characterize amplifier gain serve as […]
AWG/digitizer combo hits 1.25 GS/sec
The hybridNETBOX is an instrumentation platform that combines a multi-channel arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) and a digitizer in a single portable unit. With their unique capability for simultaneous signal generation and acquisition, these powerful tools are candidates for applications involving stimulus-response or closed-loop type testing. In total, 14 different hybridNETBOX-models are available, with 2+2, 4+4 […]
Multifunctional 16-bit AWG features innovative architecture, digital pattern generation
The Teledyne LeCroy T3AWG3252 Multifunctional 16-bit Arbitrary/Function Generators are designed with an innovative architecture that features synchronized analog signal and digital pattern generation. This multifunction 250-MHz arbitrary/sweep/function generator combines multiple functions in a single instrument, including a two-channel function and arbitrary waveform generator with an eight-channel digital pattern generator. These three instrument functions are based […]
First 256-GSa/sec arbitrary waveform generator with 65-GHz analog bandwidth
The M8199A is the first 256 GSa/sec arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) with 65-GHz analog bandwidth. It sits in a compact two-slot AXIe module. Making this development possible is a new digital-to-analog converter application-specific integrated circuit (DAC-ASIC) that translates memory data into an analog signal. In addition, Keysight created a new package that avoids soldering sensitive […]
New instruments combine multi-channel AWG and digitizer
The hybridNETBOX instrumentation platform covers applications that require simultaneous signal generation and acquisition. Six models are available offering the choice of two, four or eight pairs of matched AWG and digitizer channels, with output- and sampling-rates of 40, 80 and 125 Megasamples/sec. Prices start from $12,930. With their ability to create and acquire electronic signals […]
Multifunctional 16-bit AWGs include synchronized digital pattern generation
The T3AWG2152 and T3AWG2152-D generators are multifunctional 150MHz arbitrary/sweep/function generators that combine multiple functions in a single instrument, including a two-channel function and arbitrary waveform generator with an eight-channel digital pattern generator (in the D version). These three different functionalities are based on an advanced Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) technology which allows glitch-free on-the-fly changes […]
AWGs deliver 24-output swings on up to eight channels
Four new models of the generatorNETBOX family have output swings of up to 24 V on up to eight channels to cover demanding test applications. The new units use the latest 16-bit digital-analog-converters and offer two different speed ranges: The DN2.657 models output waveforms at rates up to 125 MS/sec while the DN2.654 units have […]
