Arbitrary Waveform Generators

100 MHz to 10 GHz Arbitrary Waveform Generators

Active Technologies Arbitrary Waveform Generators meet the demand of today’s engineers offering the best vertical resolution up to 16 bits and the fastest sample rate up to 20 GSa/s. Each unit can be configured with 2, 4 or 8 channels per units and it’s possible synchronize multiple units to build an equivalent 32 synchronous channel system.

The innovative user interface combined with the 7” capacitive touch screen allow the user to setup the instrument and generate the first signals in few clicks.

The unique performances in terms of signal amplitude / rise time (up to 5Vpp – 50 ps), overcomes the traditional limitation of standards fast AWGs that cannot deliver more than 1Vpp.

As a result the AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator) and AFG (Arbitrary Function Generator) family helps you to generate with confidence waveforms of almost any imaginable shape:

  • Quantum communication & Quantum Key distribution (QKD)
  • Quantum Sensing
  • Pulsed laser experiment (to control EOM and AOM)
  • RF stimuli for functional and performance tests
  • radar simulation
  • optical communication
  • Lase diode test
  • complex signals like digital modulations

Moreover the combination with Digital output Channels (up to 32 digital channel per instrument) make each instrument a real MSG (Mixed Signal Generator) solution.
