AWG520 Solves Communications Physical Layer and Media Storage Design and Test Challenges

The AWG520's unique design combines a graphical editing display with powerful output capabilities to simplify the creation of arbitrary and complex waveforms and enable easy on-screen waveform editing. With the AWG520's many built-in intuitive and powerful features, you can easily develop and edit custom waveforms. Option 03 adds an independent 10–bit-wide digital data port that can be used in conjunction with marker outputs for data generation up to 14–bits wide at up to 1 GHz (14–bits, AWG520). Direct waveform transfer capability makes the AWG520 the perfect complement to selected Tektronix oscilloscopes.

The AWG520 can easily generate telecom signals which complement masks from a digital oscilloscope.
