Arbitrary Waveform Generator Synthetic Instrument Module, 10-Bit, 1.25 GS/s or 625 MS/s

N8242A - Keysight Technologies

Keysight's N8242A arbitrary waveform generator synthetic instrument module offers high sampling rates of either 1.25 GS/s or 625 MS/s and 10-bit resolution, enabling designers to create ideal waveforms for accurate test of radar, satellite, digital radio, and frequency-agile systems. Each channel provides either 500 MHz of modulation bandwidth (for the 1.25 GS/s sampling rate) or 250 MHz of modulation bandwidth (for the 625 MHz sampling rate). With more than 65 dBc of spurious-free dynamic range, users can generate very high-fidelity complex modulation signals. When the N8242A is combined with a wideband I/Q upconverter, modulation bandwidth of 1 GHz (for the 1.25 GS/s sampling rate) or 500 MHz (for the 625 MHz sampling rate) can be realized at microwave frequencies for authentic signal simulations for IF and RF subsystem test.
