AWG7122B 12 GS/s Tektronix Arbitrary Waveform Generator 2 Ch

The Tektronix AWG7122B arbitrary waveform generator delivers a unique combination of superior signal stimulus, unrivaled sample rate, bandwidth, and uncompromised usability. This offers the industry's best solution to the challenging signal stimulus issues faced by designers verifying, characterizing, and debugging sophisticated electronic designs. The direct synthesis signal generation enables a variety of signal outputs including multilevel, pre/de-emphasis, jitter (Rj, Pj, ISI, DCD), SSC, and wander elements.

The Tektronix AWG7122B Arbitrary Waveform Generator represents a cutting edge benchmark in performance, sample rate, signal fidelity, and timing resolution. The ability to create, generate, or replicate either ideal, distorted, or “real-life” signals is essential in the design and testing process. The AWG7122B AWG, with up to 24 GS/s (optional) or 12 GS/s (standard) and 10-bit vertical resolution, delivers the industry's best signal stimulus solution for ever-increasing measurement challenges. This allows for easy generation of very complex signals, including complete control over signal characteristics.
