Dual operation mode
The AWG4000 is the industry’s first convergent waveform generator with full function AFG (Basic) and AWG (Advanced) modes.
Basic mode has a dedicated user interface similar to traditional AFG for generating function and arbitrary waveforms with minimum button clicks and shallow menu hierarchy. The large touch screen displays all related parameters at one glance, and enables you directly click where you want to change. The DDS based technology enables users to switch from one frequency to another by rotating knob or button clicks, without concerning the sampling rate and waveform length
In Advanced mode, users can define complex waveforms with up to 16,384 entries of analog waveforms and digital patterns in a sequence, in terms of loops, jumps, and conditional branches.
In the Multi-sequence mode, two sequences can be defined to control Channel 1 and Channel 2 (and the corresponding digital channels) separately as two units of generator.
Best in class performance in its price range
The AWG4000 gives users access to the best-in-class DAC technology at an affordable price. Up-to 2.5 GS/s sampling rate and 14-bit vertical resolution help users generate ultra wideband communication signals with 750 MHz modulation bandwidth and the < -60 dBc SFDR across each channel. The analog channels can be configured to output differential, single ended, or AC coupled, eliminating the needs of baluns or hybrids in the test path.
Mixed-signal generation
The AWG4000 has optional 16/32-bit digital outputs, synchronized with the corresponding analog channels in two 16-bit groups. Each group can be configured as 8-bit full speed (bit rate at half the sampling rate) or 16-bit low speed (bit rate at 1/4 of the sampling rate). The mixed signal generation is a great solution for digital designs and validation, system synchronization and DAC/ADC tests.
Upgradability protects ROI
The standard configuration of AWG4000 is 1 Mpts for each analog channel and no digital channels. This helps to reduce the ownership threshold of accessing to the product. However, when the test requirement increases, a customer can purchase the option keys to upgrade the memory to 16 Mpts, 32 Mpts or 64 Mpts, or to upgrade the digital channel to 16-bit or 32-bit. It eliminates the need of concerning the risk of lowering ROI in the whole life time.
System extension with multi-unit synchronization
Two or more AWG4000s can be synchronized by connecting the Sync-in and Sync-out interfaces of the master and the slaves. In this way, all units will share the same sampling clock, reference clock, and triggering events. This helps customers expand the number of output channels, which is extremely useful in the applications where multiple channels are needed, like MIMO.
Intuitive user interface
The AWG4000 is built on the Windows platform. The 10.1-in touch screen displays parameters, settings, and on-screen menus/buttons. Together with the similar-to-traditional front panel buttons and rotary knobs, the user friendly user interface provides intuitive ways to operate the instrument easily in the Basic mode. However, if a user works in the Advanced mode to create complex sequenced waveforms, an external keyboard and mouse can be connected to the instrument through the USB interface. This helps the user operate in a normal Windows application.
Easy waveform creation
In the Basic mode, a plug-in called ArbBuilder is embedded in the application. Users can create customized waveforms from standard waveforms, with the equation editor, free hand, point draw tools, or simply import the tfw files generated by ArbExpress®, and then transfer to either channels for replication.
In Advanced mode, RFXpress® can communicate with the application directly and download the waveforms generated by the software running on the instrument or an external PC. Users can also import waveforms captured by Tektronix oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or created by 3rd party software like Matlab®, FPGA simulation tools.
