M8196A 92 GSa/s Arbitrary Waveform Generators

Functionality

• provides a combination of high speed, high bandwidth, and high channel density
• high channel density: 1, 2 or 4 channels per AXIe module (number of channels is software upgradeable)
• built-in frequency and phase response calibration for clean output signals
• external clock in and out

Performance

• sample rate up to 92 GSa/s, 8-bit vertical resolution
• 32 GHz analog bandwidth
• amplitude up to 1 Vpp (single-ended), 2 Vpp (differential), voltage window -1.0 to +2.5 V
• supporting signals up to 64 GBaud and beyond
• 512 kSa of waveform memory per channel
• ultra-low intrinsic jitter
• transition times < 9 picoseconds (20% to 80%) with frequency response compensation
• multi-functions with M8070A system software for M8000 Series BER test solutions
• 92 GSa/s sample rate supporting signals up to 64 GBaud on 4 channels in a 1-slot AXIe module simultaneously

Key Applications

200G, 400G and 1 terabit applications demand a new class of generator that simultaneously provides high speed, precision, and flexibility.

• Optical communications (LR4, CFP2-ACO, Coherent, etc.) — 4 synchronized channels allow deterministic emulation and pre-distortion of 2 independent I/Q baseband signals up to 64 GBaud
• Receiver stress test — particularly for multi-level, multi-channel interfaces (NRZ, PAM4, PAM8, DMT, etc.) up to 64 GBaud
• Quantum physics and advanced research — generate any mathematically-defined arbitrary waveforms, ultra-short yet precise pulses, and extremely wideband chirps
• Random interference (RI) and sinusoidal interference (SI) — works with M8020A and M8040A modules. Operate with M8070A BER System control software.
