Impedance analyzers work better than LCR meters when it comes to sizing up the super-low impedance and inductance of modern power converter capacitors. Tim Ashworth, Meng Li, Zurich Instruments DC-link capacitors are often found in power conversion applications such as inverters, motor drives, medical power supply equipment, and so forth. Consequently, dc-link capacitors often need […]

First AWG with real-time precompensation
Real-time precompensation technology for the HDAWG arbitrary waveform generator minimizes effects of imperfections in the wiring and ensures that the signal applied to the device under test equals the signal designed on the HDAWG. Multiple filter types are available to correct for ac coupling, spurious inductances and capacitances, impedance mismatches, amplifier ringing, and others. This […]
Quantum analyzer gives parallel readout of 10 qubits
The UHFQA Quantum Analyzer provides a multi-qubit readout in ambitious quantum computing projects. The UHFQA measures the state of 10 qubits simultaneously with state-of-the-art speed, fidelity, and innovative signal crosstalk suppression techniques. In dual-sideband operation, a frequency span up to 1.2 GHz is covered. The combination of UHFQA and the HDAWG Arbitrary Waveform Generator forms […]
Lock-in amps get AM/FM modulation option
Lock-in amplifiers can be equipped with amplitude and frequency modulation capabilities with the new AM/FM Modulation Option. This option enables coherent generation and detection of signals with multiple frequency components, such as amplitude- and frequency modulated signals. Up to three frequencies can be coherently combined to generate fully configurable AM signals. The three characteristic frequency […]
Multi-device synchronization for lock-in amplifiers and arbitrary wave generators
A new Multi-device Synchronization function (MDS) allows multiple instruments to be connected together and controlled on one user-friendly interface. The MDS takes care of the synchronization of both the 10 MHz clock and the sampling rates of each connected instrument. Instead of using one multi-channel instrument, single instruments can be added as required and subsequently […]
Arbitrary waveform generator targets component testing, quantum research, spectroscopy apps
A new arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) called the HDAWG is a high-density multi-channel instrument featuring high channel density and low trigger latency (
