Generate equalized wideband signals right at the DUT interface
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.
The cleanest, truest to life signals.
10 bits of resolution with a full range of sample rates (up to 50 Gs/s) allows you to simulate complex environments, recreate objects of interest and reliably generate precise test signals—all with low EVM and noise. Directly generate signals with up to 18 GHz of bandwidth or generate baseband I/Q streams.
Highlights
- 10 bits of resolution
- SFDR -80 dBc
Tools that let you be as arbitrary as you want to be.
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.

Building a multiple emitter RF signal environment made easy
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
Engineering through complexity
When engineering the world's most complex systems, the ability to create ideal, distorted and "real life" signals is essential. Generating advanced radar signals demands exceptional performance from an AWG in terms of sample rate, dynamic range, and memory. Advanced communication systems, such as coherent optical and PAM4, require reliable, easy to set up and high performing tool sets for optical testing, waveform generation and calibration. Electronic warfare systems require complex, stress testing with advanced capabilities to synthesize digitally modulated baseband, IF and RF/microwave signals through a wide range of modulation schemes in a timely manner is essential. Advanced electronic and physics applications like quantum computing need to create clean, stable waveforms to reduce the time to iterate through designs and experiment costs to make breakthroughs happen.
