The AWG7000 is able to generate signals including imperfections such as noise and jitter up to 10 Gbps with 45 ps rise time (20/80) for high-speed serial data applications and modulated digital RF/IF signals of 5 GHz for wideband applications including advanced radar.
"Engineering is constantly under pressure to develop products faster and more cost-effectively," said David Erisman, chief technology officer, X-COM Systems. "As system designs become more advanced and complex, the ability to create accurate signals in a realistic test environment becomes increasingly important. The user interface and waveform development tools of the AWG7000 enable engineers to easily generate, very early in the development process, the exact waveform, data stream or mixed signal needed for testing design concepts before committing them to hardware.”
Based on user needs, the AWG7000 is equipped with a 10.4-inch touch-screen, color LCD and an intuitive user interface employing Windows XP to help engineers be more productive. Connectivity features include GPIB and Gigabit Ethernet. The units come with one or two analog channels and two and four marker outputs, enabling the generation of mixed-signal waveforms that provide for analog signals and digital control channels. Plus, it enables easy data interchange with third-party software including MATLAB, MathCad and Microsoft Excel, which are often used in the creation and generation of waveforms, data streams and mixed signals as an aid to design, prototype, debug and test compliance of the latest products.
Avialable now, the AWG7000 series starts at $60,000 for the 5 Gsps AWG7051.
