The EADS Instruments 3161 300MS/s Waveform Synthesizer combines industry-leading 300MS/s performance, frequency agility and modulation capability in a single-slot VXIbus format. Signal output in the range of 100µHz to 150MHz with 12-bit resolution supports the test stimulus needs of the information age.
Higher performance test equipment and systems are needed as products are developed which use increasing signal bandwidths. The 3161's 300MS/s sample rate generates test stimuli with superior waveform quality and performance. For example, harmonics are typically below 30dB for a 150MHz sine wave.
The 3161 provides real-time frequency agility with an interface allowing the user to control the 3161's output frequency instantaneously. Up to 256 frequency hops are available at clock rates that are inter division ratios of the 3161's sample clock. Division ratios range from 1 to 64k. Hops are controllable via a front panel D-sub connector. Waveform sequencing is also available with a hopped sample clock.
The 3161 also allows external modulation by providing front panel inputs for Amplitude and Phase Modulation (AM and PM), as well as Frequency Shift Keying (FSK).
The 3161 automatically locks its output to external analog signals up to 18.75MHz. Phase offset resolution is programmable in 1 point steps. The frequency of the external signal may be queried since the 3161 has a built-in 6 digit frequency counter.
WaveCAD waveform creation software allows you to create sophisticated test waveforms using equations, freehand drawing, and built-in functions or combinations of all three. Waveforms may also be imported from spreadsheets, math programs or waveform digitizers.
The EADS 3161 300MS/s Waveform Synthesizer may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
