Highlights

  • Analog bandwidth up to 70 GHz
  • Continuous sample rate range at 100 to 128 GSa/s (4-channel), or at 200 to 256 GSa/s (2-channel)
  • Synchronization of up to 16 channels across 4 modules (128 GSa/s) or up to 8 channels across 4 modules (256 GSa/s)
  • Built-in frequency and phase response calibration for clean output signals

Keysight’s M8199A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) features four channels at 128 GSa/s or two channels at 256 GSa/s with up to 70 GHz nominal analog bandwidth.

As a high-performance arbitrary signal source, the M8199A enables the development of designs of 128 Gbaud and beyond, 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.
