The AWG5000 Series of Arbitrary Waveform Generators Delivers the Industry’s Best Mixed Signal Stimulus Solution for Today’s Complex Measurement Challenges

The AWG5000 Series of Arbitrary Waveform Generators delivers the optimal combination of industry leading 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 signal dynamic range and integrity.

AWG5000 Series models, with a 14 bits DA converter based sample rate from 600 MS/s 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 base band I/Q communications, digital consumer product design such as imaging devices, data conversion equipment and semiconductor design and test.

The open windows (Windows XP) based instruments are easy and convenient to use and connect easily with peripherals and third party software.

Wireless I/Q and IF Signal Generation

Tektronix AWGs support “Wireless Everywhere” by enabling the latest Digital RF technology, increasing wireless network capacity and delivering the performance that supports higher modulation bandwidth and modulation schemes.

The AWG 5000 Series’ 1.2 GS/s, (600 MS/s), with enough signal dynamic range and SFDR via 14bit vertical resolution meets Narrowband IQ applications to broadband IF applications. The AWG5000 is able to generate not only analog IQ/IF signals, but digital data IQ / IF. The MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) system that supports W-LAN /Wi-Max using space-multiplex with multiple antennas is a leading edge technology for reliable and faster data rate communication. The AWG5000 Series generates up to 4 analog channels (8-channels via two instruments) to simultaneously generate MIMO signals. The series can generate two pairs of IQ signals (4-pairs with two instruments) as an IQ generator, and four pairs of IF signals (8-pairs with two instruments) as an IF generator. With the two channels models, ch1 and ch2 digital data output is available as an option.

Spurious Performance

The 14bit vertical resolution and sophisticated design of the AWG5000 Series provides ample signal dynamic range and purity. The SFDR performance is 80 dBc for 1 MHz signal and 64 dBc for 10 MHz signal.

Multi-Level Logic Signal

One technique to increase the data rate without increasing the transition rate is applying multi-level signals, wherein a signal can assume more than the standard binary 2 levels. In multi-level signaling, one can think of multi-level discrete amplitudes of a signal. This phenomenon is known as pulse amplitude-modulation or PAM. A 9PAM signal, a signal with 9 different amplitudes, increases the data rate by four without increasing the transition rate of the signal.

9-PAM with 250Mbps

The AWG5000 Series enables you to test your latest design by generating any kind of mixed or multi-level signal.

Mixed Signal Generation

AWG5012 and AWG5002 models can generate two analog signals with four digital marker outputs, supporting 28 digital outputs (ch1 and ch2 data) as an option. They deliver a mixed analog and digital signal generator and the most versatile solution for a broad range of applications, including consumer electronics such as ADC/DAC converter and imaging or display devices.

RFXpress (RFX100)

RFXpress is a software package that synthesizes digitally modulated base band IQ and IF signals. It takes IQ and IF signal generation to the next level and fully exploits the wideband signal generation capabilities of Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs). Supporting a wide range of modulations, as well as the symbol map functions, the software allows you to define your own modulation.

RFXpress is a powerful easy to use software package to synthesize IQ and IF signals for arbitrary waveform generators (AWG). It runs as an integral part of the AWG5000 series arbitrary waveform generators or from an external PC.
