Key Features
Wideband Arbitrary Waveform Generation
The SDG8000A series provides up to 5 GHz output frequency, 16-bit vertical resolution and long-memory arbitrary waveform playback for demanding communication, industrial and research signal-generation tasks.
Multi-layer Sequence Playback
Segment, Sequence and Scenario playback support complex waveform sequencing while preserving signal bandwidth and extending practical playback time for long test patterns.
Vector Signal Generation
Vector output supports up to 2 GHz modulation bandwidth, with external-modulator workflows extending baseband signal bandwidth to 4 GHz for RF and wireless communication test setups.
Pulse, Chirp and Multi-tone Functions
EasyPulse technology, multi-pulse, multi-tone and linear-frequency-modulation chirp generation cover pulse-edge control, radar-like stimulus, frequency-response checks and special signal emulation.
High-speed Serial Pattern Output
High-speed serial code signal output supports PRBS patterns up to 1.25 Gbps, helping engineers generate repeatable serial stimulus for receiver and digital-interface validation.
Remote and Bench Integration
USB Host, USB Device, LAN, optional GPIB, WebServer control, 250 GB internal SSD and 7-inch touch display support both automated benches and standalone waveform editing.
