Agilent M8190A waveform generator

Click2Contact

A high-resolution, wide-bandwidth, 8 or 12 GSa/s modular arbitrary waveform generator can deliver simultaneous high resolution and wide bandwidth along with spurious-free dynamic range and very low harmonic distortion.

This functionality allows radar, satellite and electronic warfare device designers to make reliable, repeatable measurements and create highly realistic signal scenarios to test their products.

The M8190A helps engineers build a strong foundation for highly reliable satellite communications and generate multilevel signals with programmable ISI and jitter up to 3 Gbps.

This instrument has 14 bits of resolution and up to 5 GHz of analog bandwidth per channel, the ability to build realistic scenarios with 2 GSa of waveform memory and reduced system size, weight and footprint with compact modular AXIe AWG capability.

The performance is made possible by a digital-to-analog converter designed by the Agilent Measurement Research Lab. Fabricated with a silicon-germanium BiCMOS process, the DAC operates at 8 GSa/s with 14-bit resolution and at 12 GSa/s with 12-bit resolution.
