M8100 Series AWG Highlights
Enhance Your Reality
The M8100 Series arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) offer a level of versatility that enables you to set up complex real-world signals — whether you need precise signals to characterize the performance of a design or need to stress a device to its limits. From low-observable radar to high-density communications, testing is more realistic with our precision arbitrary waveform generators.
- Push radar and electronic warfare designs farther with highly realistic signal scenarios
- Leverage up to 256 GSa/s sample rates
- Debug your toughest designs with confidence using superior signal fidelity
- Use high-resolution and wide-bandwidth signals simultaneously
- Stress your device to its limits with clean or distorted signals
- Reduce system footprint with AXIe form factor
The Custom Power Behind Our Instruments
Pushing the boundaries of technology requires instantaneous bandwidth, spurious-free dynamic range, and signal fidelity beyond basic measurements. Keysight powers every performance product with custom MMICs, designed in-house, manufactured in our proprietary indium phosphide (InP) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) fab with custom ASIC signal processing that ensure the industry’s fastest, most reliable measurements. Count on Keysight to accelerate your next innovation. In our high-performance BERTs and AWGs, Keysight semiconductors enable speed, bandwidth, and flexibility for terabit transmission systems, resulting in excellent eye diagrams.

M8100 Series AWG Applications
Aerospace and Defense
Choosing the right emitter generation source to use for testing an electronic warfare (EW) application is a challenging task. Some of the difficulty arises because that decision must be informed by the test engineer’s own requirements, along with the nuances of each application, and that means that no one source is ideal in every situation.
Optical Transceivers
Next-generation optical transceivers enable telecom service providers to support 100GE, 400GE, and soon terabit applications. To thoroughly test your optical receiver, you need to stimulate it with complex waveforms using different modulation formats and data sources. Keysight's M8100A Series AWGs can help you quickly and accurately test the performance of your optical transceivers.
