Agilent Technologies offers PXI-based and LXI-based 15-bit arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) that are designed to create simultaneous wide-bandwidth and high-resolution signals for electronic testing of radar, satellite, telecom or military communication equipment.

Using 15-bit vertical resolution, the N6030A (PXI) and N8241A (LXI) products generate wideband waveforms with spurious-free dynamic range of less than -65dBc for each channel, DC to 500MHz. Noise floor is less than -150dBc/Hz across the full channel bandwidth.

When combined with the Agilent PSG vector signal generator wideband I/Q upconverter, Agilent’s AWGs can achieve modulation bandwidths of 1GHz at high frequency up to 44GHz for authentic signal simulations for IF and RF subsystem testing as well.

The 4-slot PXI N6030A and the LXI N8241A feature two channels, each offering 1.25GS/s with up to 500MHz of signal bandwidth, and a standard waveform length of 8Msample per channel that is expandable to 16Msample.
