Speciﬁcations

This section contains the speciﬁcations for the AWG70000A series Arbitrary

Waveform Generators and the AWGSYNC01 Synchronization Hub. The

generators a

re covered together in the ﬁrst part, followed by the separate

AWGSYNC01 information.

All speciﬁc

ations are typical unless noted as warranted. Warranted speciﬁcations

that are m arked with the

symbol are checked in this manual.

Performance conditions

To meet speciﬁcations, the following conditions must be met:

The instr

ument must have been calibrated/adjusted at an ambient temperature

between +20 °C and + 30 °C.

The inst

rument must be operating within the environmental limits. (See

Table1-32onpage1-21.)

The ins

trument must be powered from a source that meets the speciﬁcations.

(SeeTable1-30onpage1-18.)

The in

strument must have been operating continuously for at least 20 minutes

within the speciﬁed operating temperature range.

Description

Continuous m

Triggered mode

An arbitrar

is output, the instrument waits for the next trigger signal.

Speciﬁcations

Table 1-4: Analog output (cont.)

Characteristics Description

Sin(x)/x bandwidth The sin(x)/x bandwidth can be solved for using the following equation:

20 * log (sin(x )/x) = -3

For interleaved waveforms: x = 2π * fout ÷ fsample

For non-interleaved waveforms: x = π * fout ÷ fsample

fsample = sample rate

fout = sin(x)/x bandwidth

AWG70001A ≤ 25 GS/s (non-interleaved): 11.1 GHz * fsample ÷ 25 GS/s

> 25 GS/s (interleaved): 11.1 GHz * fsample ÷ 50 GS/s

AWG70002A 11.1 GHz * fsample ÷ 25 GS/s

Analog bandwidth

Analog bandwidth is measured with the ideal sin(x)/x response curve of the DAC

mathematically removed from the measured data.

AWG70001A 15 GHz at 50 GS/s

AWG70002A 13.5 GHz at 25 GS/s

Rise/fall time When operating in interleaved mode, rising and falling edges are created using two sample

points. As a result, the rise/fall time is dependent on the sample rate.

AWG70001A ≤ 25 GS/s: < 23 ps
