Modulation and built-in waveforms
The EDU33210 Series 20 MHz function/arbitrary waveform generators boast a versatile array of 17 built-in arbitrary waveforms, catering to a wide range of applications. Among these are standard waveforms, including sine, square, ramp, triangle, pulse, PRBS, DC, and Gaussian noise (refer to Figures 1 and 2).
In addition to these common waveforms, the generator offers a selection of specialty waveforms, each designed to meet specific testing requirements. These include cardiac, exponential fall, exponential rise, Gaussian pulse, haversine, Lorentz, D-Lorentz, negative ramp, and sinc waveforms, providing advanced functionality for diverse applications (refer to Figures 3 and 4).
Enhancing its versatility further, the EDU33210 Series features six built-in modulation types: AM, FM, phase modulation (PM), frequency-shift keying (FSK), binary phase shift keying (BPSK), and pulse width modulation (PWM). Whether you're conducting basic signal generation or advanced modulation techniques, these generators offer the flexibility and precision needed for your testing needs.
Signal Integrity: Outputting the Signals You Expect
When it comes to designing reliable systems, minimising spurious signals or harmonics is crucial for ensuring accuracy and dependability. Testing with clean, precise, and low-noise signals is essential for success.
With the EDU33210 Series function/arbitrary waveform generators, you can achieve unparalleled signal fidelity, allowing you to generate precise waveforms tailored to your most demanding measurements. This high fidelity ensures that you're accurately observing your design's characteristics, rather than artifacts introduced by the waveform generator itself.
Rest assured that with the EDU33210 Series, you can confidently trust the integrity of your measurements, enabling you to achieve optimal results in your projects.
Arbitrary Waveform with Deep Memory
Are you seeking to test your design with intricate, extended waveforms featuring various anomalies? Look no further than the EDU33210 Series function/arbitrary waveform generators. Standard with up to 8 million samples per channel deep memory, capable of handling a maximum of 1 million samples per waveform, these generators offer ample memory capacity to tackle your testing challenges head-on.
