Types of signal generators Wednesday, April 28, 2021 by: Andrea Vinci

A signal generator is an analog or digital device that engineers use to create electronic signals when testing circuit designs. There are many different types of signal generators with diverse features and applications. Below are the most common types of signal generators and the unique capabilities of each. Waveform or function generators Waveform generators produce electrical waveforms over a …

3 Ways to Generate Radar Signals with Arbitrary Waveform Generators Friday, October 30, 2020 by: Tektronix Expert

Radar signals’ qualities make them inherently difficult to recreate with a signal generator. Their combination of carrier frequency, modulation bandwidth, and in most cases, their pulsed nature creates a series of requirements difficult to match with existing instrumentation. The increasing complexity of radar systems, the growing use of complex modulation techniques such as Barker codes, poly …

Recreating Real-World Chaos with Arbitrary Waveform Generators Friday, October 16, 2020 by: Tektronix Expert

When testing complex electronic warfare and wireless communications systems, engineers and researchers need the flexibility to accurately recreate real-world signals. Unfortunately, the real world is messy, and its RF landscape can change rapidly from moment to moment. Thus, engineers often need to cycle through fast-changing signals quickly. With this need in mind, we’ve introduced new Streaming …

8 Challenges with Wideband Radar Thursday, August 27, 2020 by: Tektronix Expert

Increasingly, designers of radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems and components need to perform modulation and pulse analyses at wider bandwidths. Spectrum managers also need to record and analyze hours of wide bandwidth data. There area number of test and measurement challenges associated with these needs, however. Here are eight challenges with wideband radar: Generating …

CAN SCIENTISTS RELIABLY CONTROL A QUANTUM CHIP? Thursday, April 4, 2019 by: Christopher Loberg

When I ask my quantum research customers what part of their project they’re most excited about, almost invariably they tell me it’s some unique element of their quantum chip. But when the experiment is over, and the findings are published, was the chip the most challenging building block of their computer? Not always. In fact, after having gone through it all, many teams find that integration …

Three Major Signal Source Roadblocks to Quantum Computing Research Saturday, June 24, 2017 by: Tektronix Expert

The quest to dramatically improve computer performance and capabilities centers on quantum computers – a type of computer that exploits some strange properties of physics on the smallest of scales. While much progress has been made in recent years, even moderately small quantum computers are a long way out from delivering consistent and repeatable results. Developing viable quantum computers is …
