Keysight Modular Arbitrary Waveform Generators

This video introduces Keysight Modular Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs), engineered for scalable signal generation across manufacturing test, R&D workflows, and emerging high‑speed communication technologies. Available in both PXIe and AXIe form factors, these modular AWGs deliver flexible, high‑density signal creation for multichannel systems used in high‑speed digital test, RF component design, phased‑array architectures, and optical communication research. Their modular design enables engineers to expand channel counts, synchronize multiple outputs, and integrate directly into automated or distributed test environments.

PXIe AWGs provide compact, high‑channel‑density signal generation ideal for manufacturing test environments requiring parallel stimulus, synchronized timing, and efficient automated control. For cutting‑edge research and ultra‑wideband applications, AXIe AWGs deliver up to 256 GSa/s sampling rates and 80 GHz bandwidth with exceptional signal purity, low phase noise, and low jitter which makes them well suited for developing next‑generation wireless, coherent optical, and terabit‑class transmission systems.

Modular AWGs support advanced waveform creation, real‑time sequencing, and dynamic playback control. Engineers can emulate realistic, time‑varying environments using enhanced sequencing functions that control ordering, timing, and conditional waveform behavior. Multi‑channel synchronization enables precise phase alignment and coherent generation across multiple outputs, essential for MIMO systems, beamforming algorithms, and quantum control applications. Powerful software tools allow users to generate complex waveforms, from 5G and 6G standards‑compliant signals to high‑speed optical modulation formats, without writing code.
 

Key features include:

• Modular Architecture: PXIe and AXIe platforms support scalable, multi‑channel signal generation for applications such as quantum control, beamforming, and advanced wireless research.
• Channel Synchronization: Generate and align multiple independent waveform outputs with precise timing, coherence, and phase control.
• Enhanced Sequencing: Create time‑varying, real‑world signal environments with conditional, dynamic, and user‑controlled waveform playback.
• Powerful Software Tools: Develop, customize, and manage complex waveforms, including 5G, 6G, Wi‑Fi 6/7, and terabit‑class signals without coding.
   

Modular Arbitrary Waveform Generators deliver scalable, high‑performance signal creation with advanced sequencing, multi‑channel synchronization, and ultra‑wideband capability. Engineers developing next‑generation wireless, optical, RF, and high‑speed digital systems can rely on these AWGs for precise, flexible, and future‑ready waveform generation.
