RENT TEKTRONIX AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator (call for availability)

The AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator combines world-class signal fidelity with ultra high-speed mixed signal simulation, a powerful sequencing capability and graphical user interface with flexible waveform editor, to solve the toughest measurement challenges. The built-in signal applications enable you to easily create standard waveforms for disk drive read channels, communications up to 4.2 Gb/s, and various semiconductor applications.

Features and Specifications of the Tektronix AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator include:

• 4.2 GS/s Sample Rate simulates real-world signals up to 2.1 GHz
• 2 Markers with 2.0 ps_rms (at 4.2 GS/s typical) jitter deliver stable timing to the device-under-test
• 32.4M or 64.8M Point Record Length provide longer data streams
• Analog Bandwidth to 2 GHz (Opt 02, calculated based on Rise Time) provides the highest signal fidelity of all high-speed AWGs
• Direct External Clock Input allows jittered and non-jittered signals for high-speed data stream timing margin test up to 4.2 Gb/s
• Synchronous Operation Mode supports 2 AWG710B outputs (2: Analog, 4: Marker) synchronization for high data rate wireless and data communication test and optical write channel strategy signal test
• Waveform Quick Editor with 300 fs edge timing resolution delivers output edge control with near real-time precision
• Allows 2-signal mix function digitally to support disk drive noise performance test and pre/de-emphasis serial data communication test
• Real-time sequencing creates infinite waveform loops, jumps, patterns and conditional branches
• Applications:
• Disk Drive read/write design and test
• Communications design and test
• Arbitrary IF base-band signals
• Standard waveforms for communications
