An arbitrary waveform generator is electronic test equipment that creates user-defined electrical signals for measurement and stimulation tasks. Arbitrary waveform generators are used to supply controlled patterns, pulses, and modulated signals to devices under test in laboratory and production environments.
The M8196A is an AXIe arbitrary waveform generator module with software-upgradeable channel count. The M8196A supports a sample rate from 82.24 to 92 GSa/s. The M8196A has 8 bits of DAC resolution. The M8196A provides 512 kSa of waveform memory per channel. The M8196A is offered in 1-channel, 2-channel, and 4-channel configurations. The M8196A provides single-ended or differential outputs. The M8196A has 32 GHz typical analog bandwidth.[3]
Test and probe equipment is used outside the direct material-processing steps of wafer fabrication. Test instruments of this class support device characterization, interface stimulus, receiver evaluation, and bench or system-level validation around development, integration, and production test activities.
Arbitrary waveform generators are used wherever a test plan requires repeatable electrical stimulus that is more flexible than a fixed-pattern source. Arbitrary waveform generators are common in signal-integrity work, communications testing, component characterization, and experimental setups that need custom waveforms.
