Basic and advanced modes in the Tektronix AFG31000 Series arbitrary function generator
Early signal generators, dependent upon vacuum-tube technology and subject to failure, were ancestors of today’s far more precise and durable arbitrary function generators. These instruments have advanced modes and functions that figure prominently in research and product development as well as troubleshooting and repair. Here the word “arbitrary” means the instrument is capable of generating […]

RIGOL’s new DSG800A models of signal generator provide support for internal and external IQ generation allowing engineers to quickly generate IQ traffic to simulate or validate their designs. Available in 2.1-GHz and 3.6-GHz models with a starting price of only $3,699, the DSG800A provides the most capable and affordable IQ generation product on the market. […]
Software speeds double-pulse testing with AFGs
A new software plugin for the AFG31000 Arbitrary/Function Generator makes it possible to perform crucial double pulse testing in less than a minute, saving a significant amount of time when compared to alternative methods. With the new Double Pulse Test software, engineers can quickly define pulse parameters from a single window on the AFG31000’s large […]
The difference between a pulse generator, a signal generator, an AFG, and an AWG
There are a variety of instruments available to generate electronic signals these days. They go by different names and provide different kinds of outputs. Differences between the various kinds of instrumentation aren’t always obvious, so here is a short primer. Signal generators make available at their outputs sinusoidal waveforms with a settable frequency or amplitude. […]
Economical radio frequency vector signal generator targets general bench work
The new CXG X-Series Radio Frequency (RF) Vector Signal Generator (CXG) delivers advanced performance, is standards-compliant, and meets the demands of engineers designing IoT and general-purpose devices at a reasonable price. IoT and general-purpose R&D and design validation (DVT) engineers need to keep up with today’s expanding consumer electronics market. They want an economic and […]
