Description
The SDG8004A is a high-resolution, 4-channel function and arbitrary waveform generator from the SDG8000A series. Designed for demanding development and testing applications, the instrument delivers output frequencies up to 5 GHz (5 GHz at 12 GSa/s, 4 GHz at 10 GSa/s) with up to 16-bit vertical resolution. Its architecture allows for up to 4 Gpts of waveform memory per channel, modular IQ output, and a modulation bandwidth of up to 2 GHz. Operation is via the integrated 7-inch touchscreen; interfaces include USB host/device and LAN, with GPIB available as an option. Typical applications include RF and communication testing, IoT/Bluetooth/WLAN simulations, 5G/LTE signal generation, and precise pulse and serial data simulations.
