Industry's Best Mixed-signal Stimulus Solution for Today's Complex Measurement Challenges
EVM/Constellation Measurement.
The AWG5000 Series of Arbitrary Waveform Generators delivers the optimal combination of sample rate, vertical resolution, signal fidelity, and waveform memory length, all in an easy-to-use self-contained package. The series offers the industry's best solution to the challenging signal stimulus issues faced by designers verifying, characterizing, and debugging sophisticated electronic designs.
Meeting the needs of today's design engineers, the series provides excellent dynamic range over all modulation bandwidths. AWG5000 Series models, with a 14-bit DAC, sample rates up to 1.2 GS/s, 2 to 4 output channels, synchronized 4 to 8 digital marker outputs, and 28 channels of digital data outputs, easily solve the toughest measurement challenges in wireless communications, defense electronics, digital consumer product design, data conversion equipment, test system synchronization, and semiconductor design and test.
The open windows (Windows 7) based instruments are easy, convenient to use, and connect with peripherals and other third-party software.
The capabilities of the AWG5000 Series are further enhanced by the addition of key features:
Equation Editor
The Equation Editor is an ASCII text editor that uses text strings to create waveforms by loading, editing, and compiling equation files. The editor provides control and flexibility to create more complex waveforms using customer-defined parameters.
Waveform Sequencing and Subsequencing
Real-time sequencing creates infinite waveform loops, jumps, and conditional branches for longer pattern-length generation suitable for replicating real-world behavior of serial transmitters.
Dynamic Jump
The Dynamic Jump capability enables the creation of complex waveforms by enabling the ability to dynamically jump to any predefined index in a waveform sequence. Users can define up to 16 distinct jump indexes that respond to changing external environments.
LXI Class C
Using the LXI Web Interface, you can connect to the AWG5000 Series through a standard web browser by simply entering the AWG's IP address in the address bar of the browser. The web interface enables viewing of instrument status and configuration, as well as status and modification of network settings. All web interaction conforms to the LXI Class C specification.
Wireless I/Q and IF Signal Generation
The AWG5000 Series provides good SFDR over modulation bandwidths up to 180 MHz, meeting the demands of IQ and IF signal generation.
The RFXpress (RFX100) software package utilizes the raw AWG performance to simplify the creation of RF signals. Supporting a wide range of modulation schemes, the software is flexible enough to create either generic or propriety signals for digital communication systems. Power ramping, frequency hopping, and impairments can easily be added to generate the desired signal.
Radar Signal Creation is a software module for RFXpress that gives you the ultimate flexibility in creating pulsed radar waveforms. It gives you the ability to build your own radar pulse suite starting from pulse-to-pulse trains to pulse groups. It supports a variety of modulation schemes including LFM, Barker and Polyphase Codes, User-defined Codes, Step FM, Nonlinear FM, User-defined FM, and Custom modulation. It also has the ability to generate pulse trains with staggered PRI to resolve range and doppler ambiguity, frequency hopping for Electronic Counter-Counter Measures (ECCM), and pulse-to-pulse amplitude variation to simulate Swerling target models including antenna scan patterns, clutter, and multipath effects. RFXpress is a powerful easy-to-use software package to synthesize IQ and IF signals for arbitrary waveform generators. It runs as an integral part of the AWG5000 Series or from an external PC.
Environment Signal Generation
Radar signals must coexist with other commercial standard signals sharing the same spectrum, yet are still expected to perform with no performance degradation. This isn't unreasonable given its mission-critical operations. To meet this expectation, a radar designer has to thoroughly test all the corner cases at the design/debug stage. The AWG5000 and RFXpress Environment plug-in offers extreme flexibility to define and create these worst-case scenarios.
You can specify up to 25 signals to define your environment, including WiMAX, WiFi, GSM, GSM-EDGE, EGPRS 2A, EGPRS2B, CDMA, W-CDMA, DVB-T, Noise, and CW Radar. This plug-in also allows you to seamlessly import signals from other RFXpress plug-ins (including Radar, Generic Signal, etc.), as well as from Matlab® and from Tektronix spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes, into your environment. You can also configure PHY parameters of your standard-specific signals. You can define the carrier frequency, power, start time, and duration for all the signals in your environment, so you have full control over the way these signals interact/interfere with each other.
Mixed-signal Generation
Mixed-signal test by TDS/TLA iView.
AWG5012 and AWG5002 models have an optional 28 digital output channels with high-resolution edge placement, making them a great solution for digital signal generation applications, such as digital design and validation, system synchronization, and ADC/DAC testing.
