Analog and Mixed Signal Sources
Arbitrary Function/Waveform Generators
|
Tektronix
offers a wide variety of Arbitrary Function and Arbitrary Waveform Generators
that have the capabilities to earn the title of "Mixed Signal Source". From
the 16 MS/s Bench AFG 300 to the 4.0 GS/s programmable AWG 710, Tektronix
has an Arbitrary signal source to solve your application requirements.
Arbitrary
waveform generators are used to generate "real world" signals. They can generate
signals with all the glitches, drift, noise and other anomalies that a device
under test will encounter when it leaves the lab or manufacturing floor. In
addition to creating standard functions like Sine, Square, Triangle, Noise,
and DC, AWGs are being used for disk drive testing, serial data communication,
Base band/IF modulation testing, anti-lock braking, engine control, transducer
and biomedical simulations and much more.
"What if" scenarios are straightforward
since waveforms can be captured from a digital scope and then modified to
see when a device under test fails. They also import waveforms from simulation
tools like Mathcad and Matlab for easy connectivity to your DUT.
Arbitrary
Waveform Generators have evolved from simple D/A converters to sophisticated
signal sources with powerful creation, editing, triggering and real-time sequencing
capabilities.
AWG Overview
Standard function generators offer
limited capability when compared to the robust capabilities offered in modern
Arbitrary Generators. Today, in fact, we can consider the powerful AWG Series
as truly Mixed Signal Sources. In addition to the AWG's ability to replace
conventional generators in applications, AWGs also provide other powerful
capabilities.
For example, designers must test their products to operate
under the actual conditions which their design will encounter in the “real
world.” However, real-world test signals are often not ideal and may have
undesirable components or impurities. These conditions may also be observed
as either repetitive or infrequent amplitude and/or frequency anomalies. Modern
Arbitrary Waveform Generators are ideally suited to simulate all of the conditions
encountered including both ideal and anomalies.
