AT-AWG500 High Performance 500Mhz 16Bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator

16Bit waves fast and easy as never before

Active Technologies AT-AWG500 is a high performance 500 MHz 16Bit fully arbitrary waveform generator. The AT-AWG500 has a powerful parallel architecture which can perform at runtime complex signal processing and waveform sequencing. A powerful analogue front-end provides three outputs with different performances and analogue signal conditioning options. AT-AWG500 is the ideal choice to generate high quality waveforms in the easiest way ever. The AT-AWG500 engine can run in Arbitrary or DDS Direct Digital Synthesis) mode at 500Msps and 16Bit resolution:

 

Arbitrary Mode features

  • Up to 349,504 different waveforms definable
  • Waveform sequences defined statically or at runtime
  • Triggering modes: single, continuous, stepped, burst
  • 16Bit ASK modulation

 

DDS Mode features

  • 36Bit DDS with 7.27 mHz resolution
  • FSK or PSK modulation over any arbitrary carrier
  • Modulation law defined statically or at runtime
  • Programmable amplitude vs. frequency correction figure
  • Triggering modes: single, continuous, stepped, burst

 

The dynamic update operations are very effective thanks to the USB 2.0 connection to the PC which can program the ATAWG500 while it is generating the output signal. The analogue front-end has three outputs with different features to fit any kind of signal requirement:

 

The LVOut

  • Single ended 50Ohmfull power bandwidth
  • <600 ps rise time (T20-80% at 1V pkpk), 3V voltage swing

 

The HVOut

  • Single ended50Ohmor low impedance output
  • <1.8 ns rise time (T20-80% at 2V pkpk), ±12V voltage swing
  • Analog filters: unfiltered, 65 Mhz, 146 MHz, 225 MHz
  • Attenuations: ÷1,÷ 2,÷ 4, ÷8
  • Current limitation: unlimited, 200µA, 10mA

 

The DiffOut

  • Differential 100Ω output
  • <1.2 ns rise time (T20-80% at 1V pkpk), 6V voltage swing
  • Analogue filters: unfiltered, 65 MHz, 146 MHz, 225 MHz
  • Programmable common mode voltage

 

AT-AWG500 has the AT-XSS system that can extend at up to 8 synchronous outputs at 500Msps. Two software provide a user-friendly graphic interface: an easy quick start software and a full software which provides full support for all AT-AWG500 features:

 

  • Project navigator with multiple display windows
  • Complex waveform and modulation editors
  • Waveform sequence editor
  • Noise editor and waveform filtering editor
  • LabVIEW andC/C++SDK (Software Development Kit)
