Analog Signals Join Digital Patterns In Serial Data With fast digital-to-analog converters and faster sample clock capabilities, a new generation of AWGs is evolving as a way to generate waveforms for high-speed serial bus protocols such as SATA 2 and PCI-Express.
Generating Advanced Radar Signals Using Arbitrary Waveform Generators Advances in radar signal generation and processing are being driven by the need to improve resolution and reduce radar spectrum occupancy. Solving these challenges demands exceptional performance from an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) in terms of sample rate, analog bandwidth, and memory.
25 Common Things You Can Do With an Arbitrary/Function Generator An acquisition instrument - usually an oscilloscope or logic analyzer - is probably the first thing that comes to mind when you think about making electronic measurements. But these tools can only make a measurement when they are able to acquire a signal of some kind. And there are many instances in which no such signal is available unless it is externally provided.
Fourier Series & Transform: Worksheet This worksheet covers how to use and interpret the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) function on the oscilloscope, and to be able to recognize and interpret Gibbs phenomenon when observed in practice and on oscilloscopes.
Calibrate+ Characterize and Emulate systems using RFXpress® in AWG Series System designers and device manufacturers so long have been using one set of instruments for creating digitally modulated RF signals for testing their device, and another set of instruments to characterize their system. With high bandwidth and high sampling rate Tektronix AWG7122B along with RFXpress® software, test signals and device characterization can now be done with one set of general purpose instruments up to 9.6 GHz.
Importing Data into the DG2000 Series The Tektronix DG2000 Series Data Generators can import data patterns or vectors from other sources to supplement their built-in pattern creation and editing functions.
