Margin testing includes nominal and impaired signals that simulate amplitude and timing impairments like: Cross talk Intersymbol effects Reflections Ground Bounce Noise simulations Jitter testing, and more The High performance AWG family of Arbitrary Generators from Tektronix can create ideal signals conforming to specific standards or “real-world” signals with speed, precision and ease. They provide the highest clock speeds from 1 GS/ s to 2.6 GS/ s, 10 or 8 bit DAC resolution and up to 8 Mega bytes of memory depth. They combine waveform generation and editing in one package that enables you to: Create a waveform from scratch Automatically transfer a waveform from a DPO or DSO Download signals created via computer simulation tools Modify a signal using the built-in editors These instruments can simulate “real-world” signal impairments such as Noise, Jitter, Fading and more. Their unique design integrates a graphical editing display with the most powerful hardware output capabilities available. This allows onscreen viewing of waveform editing and simplifies “whatif” test scenarios by easily allowing the creation of composite signals. The family uses a graphical user interface to overcome the historical difficulties associated with developing arbitrary and complex waveforms. Several intuitive and powerful techniques are built-in to develop and edit custom waveforms. The AWG 610 provides up to 2 V output or 4 V into a differential input with the complementary output with 460 MHz bandwidth at normal mode (1 V output or 2 V into differential input with the complementary output with 875 MHz bandwidth at direct out), each with 8-Bits vertical resolution. The AWG 610 also provides 2-channels complementary 2.5 V variable marker (Tr/Tf : <150 ps @ 2 Vp-p ) data 100 ps deskew resolution at up to 2.6 GHz. The high performance AWG 610 is fully programmable via GPIB. For throughput critical applications, the AWG 610 is also programmable via the 10-Base-T Ethernet port and provides an order of magnitude faster data transfers. Its GPIB reduces the programming effort required. As a result, it is the ideal addition to provide standard and arbitrary waveform generation for your system environment. An optional rack mount is available for easy hardware integration into your test system.
