Key Benefits of the M8199A Arbitrary Waveform Generator

• 4 channels at 128 GSa/s 
• Provides research engineers a high-performance signal source for arbitrary signals, enabling the development of designs up to 140 GBd
• Integrated, ready-to-use instrument
• Operates with well-known software, like MATLAB or Keysight IQ Tools and
• SCPI programming interface based on M8070B
• High flexibility with upgrade options from 2 channels at 128 GSa/s to 4 channels at 128 GSa/s

Keysight’s M8199A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) features four channels at 128 GSa/s  with up to 55 GHz nominal analog bandwidth.

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