Keysight M8196A is a high - performance arbitrary waveform generator, mainly used for testing electrical and electronic devices or systems.
Its features are as follows:
High Sampling Rate and Bandwidth: The sampling rate is up to 92 GSa/s, and the analog bandwidth reaches 32 GHz. It can generate complex signals with high - speed changes, meeting the needs of cutting - edge research such as 100 Gb/s, 400 Gb/s, and 1 Tb/s communication applications.
Multi - channel and Synchronization: There are 4 synchronized channels in a single - slot AXIe module, which can generate two pairs of independent I/Q signals. It supports deterministic simulation and the generation of predistorted signals, and is suitable for the testing of high - speed and coherent optical transceivers as well as components.
Excellent Signal Characteristics: It has 8 - bit vertical resolution, with an amplitude of up to 1 Vpp (single - ended) and 2 Vpp (differential), and a vertical window from - 1.0 to + 2.5 V. The transition time is < 9 ps (20%/80%), the inherent jitter is extremely low, and it also provides frequency response compensation, enabling the output of pure signals.
Large - capacity Waveform Storage: Each channel is equipped with a 512 kSa waveform memory, which can store multiple complex waveforms, facilitating the quick call and generation of different test signals.
Support for High - Baud - rate Signals: It supports signals with a baud rate of 64 GBaud and higher, and can generate digital multi - level signal scenarios such as PAM4, PAM - 8, DMT, etc., meeting the testing requirements of high - speed communication links.
Rich and Diverse Functions: It can generate any mathematically defined arbitrary waveform, high - precision ultra - narrow pulses, and ultra - wideband linear frequency - modulated signals. It can also perform de - embedding of channel S - parameters, support on - site calibration and signal conditioning, and is applicable to multiple fields such as optical communication, receiver limit testing, quantum physics, and cutting - edge scientific research.
