Description
The SDG8002A is a professional 2-channel function and arbitrary waveform generator with 16-bit resolution and high RF performance. It delivers interpolated sampling rates up to 10 GSa/s (optionally 12 GSa/s for IQ modes) and generates RF outputs up to 5 GHz. The hardware combines a large memory depth per channel, EasyPulse technology for low-jitter pulse shapes, and single-ended and differential outputs. Operation is via the 7" touchscreen or standard interfaces (USB host/device, LAN, optional GPIB). Built-in SSD capacity and web server functions simplify data storage and remote operation.
Features
