Key Benefits of the M8199A Arbitrary Waveform Generator

4 channels at 128 GSa/s

  • Provides research engineers a high-performance signal source for arbitrary signals, enabling the development of designs up to 140 GBd
  • Integrated, ready-to-use instrument
  • Operates with well-known software, like MATLAB or Keysight IQ Tools and
  • SCPI programming interface based on M8070B
  • High flexibility with upgrade options from 2 channels at 128 GSa/s to 4 channels at 128 GSa/s
  • Keysight’s M8199A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) features four channels at 128 GSa/s with up to 55 GHz nominal analog bandwidth.
  • As a high-performance arbitrary signal source, the M8199A enables the development of designs of up to 128 Gbaud, including advanced components for terabit transmission systems.
  • With up to 4 differential 128 GSa/s output channels per 2-slot AXIe module and the ability to synchronize up to 4 modules, the M8199A is well suited to stimulate multi-lane high-speed interfaces in an economic fashion.
