Enhance your reality - with the M8190A 12 GSa/s Arbitrary Waveform Generator

From low-observable systems to high-density comms, testing is more realistic with precision arbitrary waveform generation. Now you can take reality to the extreme: A Keysight AWG is the source of greater fidelity, delivering high resolution and wide bandwidth – simultaneously. This unique combination lets you create signal scenarios that push your design to the limit and bring new insight to your analysis. Get bits and bandwidth – and enhance your reality.

The M8190A AWG works with all leading software platforms

MATLAB software, BenchLink Waveform Builder Pro Software , Wideband Waveform Center for wideband modulation in 60 GHz wireless communications and more.

Additional Information:

  • Also available as M8190S Multichannel Arbitrary Waveform Generator System. Two multi-channel selections are available:
  • 4-channel system: Consists of one M9505A 5-slot AXIe chassis (M8190S-B04), one M8192A synchronization module, and two M8190A AWG modules, including the required number of clock and trigger cables
  • 8-channel system: Consists of two M9505A 5-slot AXIe chassis (M8190S-B08), one M8192A synchronization module, and four M8190A AWG modules, including the required number of clock and trigger cables
