General Information -
The AWG modules generate arbitrary CW waveforms with sampling rates up to 2 Gsps for the AWG252, 4 Gsps for the AWG452, and 8 Gsps for the AWG801. The on-board SRAMs provide 4M 12-bit data memory for the AWG252, 8Mx12-bit data memory for the AWG452, and 8Mx11-bit memory for the AWG801. The AWG can be controlled by a PC or can work alone with pre-stored waveforms. The sole RF input is the single-ended clock source CKIP, which can be operated above 2.0 GHz with minimum power of 0 dBm. The RF outputs of the module consist of a pair of differential analog outputs, OUTP and OUTN, which have 50 ohm back termination. The module accepts a high-speed trigger and generates programmable synchronization output and marker signals.
