World's fastest 16−bit arbitrary waveform generator

Berkeley Nucleonics Intro World's Fastest Arbitrary Waveform Generator - RF Cafe

San Rafael, CA – February 3, 2021 – Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation, a leading manufacturer of precision electronic instrumentation for RF/Microwave research, introduces the Model 685 High-Performance ARB.

The function of an arbitrary waveform generator, or ARB, varies depending on the application. Some of the many applications for a waveform generator include timing solution, signal emulation and modulation of signals. The Berkeley Nucleonics Model 685 High-Performance ARB offers a wide range of modulations and pre-made waveforms as well as complex user-generated waveforms. The UI is intuitive and easy to use through the touch screen interface but can also be used remotely through software with commands or through a remote desktop using the standard Ethernet interface.

Features

Number of Channels: 2, 4 or 8
Resolution: 6.16 GS/s 16 Bit
Vertical Bandwidth: 2 GHz
Offset: ± 2.5V
Amplitude: 3Vpp
Differential (5Vpp Single-Ended) into 50 Ω
Memory: 4096 Mpts Waveform per channel

The Model 685 has two modes, AFG and AWG. The AFG (arbitrary function generator) uses the Simple Rider AFG software and features signal modulation (AM, FM etc.) and pre-defined waveforms such as sine, square and pulse accessible with a simple touch of the screen. The Model 685 also boasts a 2 GHz frequency range for sine waveforms making it the fastest AFG in the world.

The AWG (arbitrary waveform generator) uses the Simple Rider TrueArb software and allows the user to define complex waveforms up to 16,384 sequence entries. At 6.16 GS/s with a 16−bit vertical resolution, the Model 685 is the world's fastest 16−bit arbitrary waveform generator. With the vast amount of capabilities, the Model 865 the range of application in research and development is endless.
