AWG5200

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

Scale efficiently with any setup, with up to 8 channels per unit, low cost per channel, and multi-unit synchronization. The fully-integrated platform allows for faster waveform loading and cleaner RF performance.

Highlights

• Simultaneously use up to 8 analog channels, 32 digital and 4 flags
• Up to 8 independent channels, multi-unit synchronization
• Extremely low noise floor
• Smart and affordable with a low base price per channel

The AWG5200 Arbitrary Waveform generator is all about streamlining your test set-up. It starts by being an off-the-shelf solution for simplifying or replacing your current complex signal generation set-up. Backwards compatibility with other Tektronix signal generators means you don’t need to re-learn a set-up process. Finally, the ability to automate tests using Matlab scripts makes it a simpler set-up end-to-end.

Highlights

• AWG backwards compatibility
• Create waveforms using Matlab commands
• Digital up-conversion, wide range of clean, output power provides VSG-like capabilities

Create, validate and test radar components using flexible, precise tests while simplifying waveform designs. The AWG5200 delivers 16-bit DAC resolution, low noise (SFDR), high fidelity signals, and replicates complex signals through interpolation. Plus, you can use digital up-conversion to shift center frequencies.

Highlights

• Radar, RF Generic and pre-compensation plug-ins
• Generate complex true-to-life test signals with excellent spurious performance
• Generate complex RF environments with long signals, playback and streaming
• Up to 8 tightly synchronized channels per instrument or synchronize multiple instruments together for a higher channel count

Quantum computing researchers and developers can reduce the time to iterate through designs, reduce scaling experiment costs, and create the clean, stable waveforms that make breakthroughs possible. 8 independent, tightly synchronized channels provide sample memory and bandwidth, resulting in a reliable, controlled source with low noise (SFDR), for the cleanest signal in the industry.
