Agilent / HP / Keysight N8241A
N8241A Arbitrary Waveform Generator Synthetic Instrument Module, 15-Bit, 1.25 GS/s or 625 MS/s
Description
Agilent's N8241A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a synthetic instrument (SI) module that combines unprecedented performance with unsurpassed flexibility. Its combination of high resolution and high sampling rates enables designers to create ideal waveforms for accurate testing of radar, satellite, digital radio, and frequency-agile systems.
Key Points
LXI class-A compliant
Option 125: Simultaneously delivers 1.25 GS/s and 15 bits of vertical resolution, and 500 MHz of instantaneous analog bandwidth per channel
Option 062: Simultaneously delivers 625 MS/s and 15 bits of vertical resolution, and 250 MHz of instantaneous analog bandwidth per channel
Option 300: Dynamic sequencing is a hardware interface that allows the user to dynamically point to predefined carrier signals created with the direct digital synthesis engine.
Option 330: Direct digital synthesis, provides efficient compression of narrowband modulation on a carrier.
Option 350: Function generator provides an easy-to-use, user-friendly graphical interface that simplifies creation of simple, complex and modulated waveforms. With the 15-bit resolution and excellent signal quality of the N6030A and N8241A AWGs, this new option provides the most accurate and stable waveforms down to 1 Hz resolution.
