AWG70000B Arbitrary Waveform Generator

When generating wideband signals, minor impedance discontinuities in the interconnect cables can affect the amplitude and phase flatness. Additionally, as signal frequencies increase, they can be subject to the analog bandwidth and roll-off characteristics of the AWG. To help you improve the fidelity of your generated waveforms, Tektronix AWGs correct these signal impairments by pre-distorting, or pre-compensating the waveform data to counteract the degradation. Achieve excellent frequency flatness right at the interface of your device under test with the pre-compensation plug-in for Tektronix AWGs.

Learn about Pre-compensation

AWG Software Library supports fast development of waveforms, inserts jitter, pre-distorts waveforms for optimal EVMs, and even simulates complex real world environments. All waveform plug-ins integrate seamlessly into the AWG GUI and can be run on your PC when you can't make it to lab. Generate all the waveforms you need—there’s no charge to compile.

Highlights

• RF generic plug-in for general waveform creation needs
• Precompensation for optimal performance
• High Speed Serial and ISI for creating standards or inserting jitter
• Multitone and Chirp plug-ins
• Environmental plug-in to create specific RF environments

Rack mountable and tested to work in the field, the AWG70000B Series is a perfect solution for remote field deployments, COTS updates for legacy equipment or updating your test and measurement rack. With excellent performance and calibration service, it’s a rugged and reliable key to your mission-critical set up.

In recent years, proposals have been made for communication systems to operate in radar bands, closing the proximity of Radar and RF signal environments. Tektronix has put together a specific waveform creation plugin for current Arbitrary Waveform Generators that enables engineers to create specific RF environments for many specific applications.

Supported applications include simulating/emulating any real world wireless scenarios/environments for EW monitoring, radar receivers with interference signals and Phased Array Antennae and MIMO.

Environmental Plug-in for Arbitrary Waveform Generators

Features of the new environment plugin include:

• The ability to create multiple scenarios and assign to different AWG channels in one compile. Users can create up to 50 Scenarios.
• Scenarios are made up of individual RF Emitters signals and users can define up to 100 Emitters per Scenario
