Spurious Performance
The 14 bit vertical resolution and
sophisticated design of the AWG5000
Series provides ample signal dynamic
range and purity. The SFDR perform-
ance is 80 dBc for 1 MHz signal and
64 dBc for 10 MHz signal.
Multi-Level Logic Signal
One technique to increase the data rate
without increasing the transition rate is
applying multi-level signals, wherein a
signal can assume more than the stan-
dard binary two levels. In multi-level
signaling, one can think of multi-level
discrete amplitudes of a signal. This
phenomenon is known as pulse ampli-
tude-modulation or PAM. A 9PAM
signal, a signal with nine different ampli-
tudes, increases the data rate by four
without increasing the transition rate of
the signal.
The AWG5000 Series enables you to
test your latest design by generating
any kind of mixed or multi-level signal.
Mixed Signal Generation
AWG5012 and AWG5002 models can
generate two analog signals with four-
digital marker outputs, supporting 28
digital outputs (ch 1 and ch 2 data) as
an option. They deliver a mixed analog
and digital signal generator and the most
versatile solution for a broad range of
applications, including consumer elec-
tronics such as ADC/DAC converter
and imaging or display devices.
