User manual TEKTRONIX AWG7101 DATASHEET

[. . . ] Higher and higher data rates are required, and the performance of cables and circuits is moving closer to their theoretical limits. One technique to increase the data rate without increasing the transition rate is by applying multilevel signals, wherein a signal can assume more than the standard binary 2 levels. In multilevel signaling one can think of multilevel discrete amplitudes of a signal. This phenomenon is known as Pulse Amplitude Modulation or PAM. [. . . ] The AWG7000 Series enables the direct generation of RF signals and their output through the D/A converter for signals up to a carrier frequency of 5 GHz and a bandwidth of 5. 8 GHz. The direct generation of IF or RF signals avoids I/Q degradations and lengthy adjustments associated with traditional generation using I/Q modulators. The AWG7000 Series with its maximum sample rate of 20 GS/s is the sole solution that allows a direct RF signal generation for up to 5 GHz. See Figure 4. www. tektronix. com 3 Data Sheet Additional Software Application Tools Extending Waveform Generation RFXpress (RFX100) RFXpress is a software package that synthesizes digitally modulated baseband, IF, and RF signals. It takes IQ, IF, and RF signal generation to the next level and fully exploits the wideband signal generation capabilities of Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs). Supporting a wide range of modulations, as well as the symbol map functions, the software allows you to define your own modulation. UWB-WiMedia signal creation, a software module for RFXpress, has the capability to digitally synthesize and generate RF signals in Band Groups 1 and 2 of the UWB spectrum. As per the latest WiMedia specification, signals will band hop in real-time over 1. 5 GHz modulation bandwidth including all the different preamble synchronization sequences, cover sequences, TFCs, and band groups. All six band groups (BG1 to BG6) can be generated with band hopping in either IQ or IF. The conformance mode enables you to generate all signals that conform to WiMedia's specifications, while the custom mode allows you to adjust the signals for stress and margin testing. SerialXpress® (SDX100) SerialXpress enables creation of exact waveforms required for thorough and repeatable design validation, margin/characterization, and conformance testing of high-speed serial data receivers. It considerably simplifies the signal creation and Jitter simulations, thus reducing overall development and test time. In addition to supporting generation of Jitter (Random, Periodic (sinusoidal), ISI, and DCD) SerialXpress also supports SSC, pre-emphasis, and noise addition. This allows the user to create a combination of various impairments simultaneously to stress the receiver. Both RFXpress and SerialXpress are powerful easy-to-use software packages to synthesize RF and high-speed serial data signals respectively for arbitrary waveform generators (AWG). It runs as an integral part of the AWG7000 Series arbitrary waveform generators or from an external PC. 4 www. tektronix. com Arbitrary Waveform Generator -- AWG7102 · AWG7101 · AWG7052 · AWG7051 Characteristics Arbitrary Waveforms Characteristic AWG7102 AWG7101 AWG7052 AWG7051 Waveform Length 2 to 32, 400, 000 points (or 2 to 64, 800, 000 points, Option 01) in multiples of 64 Interleave: 2 to 64, 800, 000 points (or 2 to 129, 600, 000 points, Option 01) in multiples of 128 2 to 32, 400, 000 points (or 2 to 64, 800, 000 points, Option 01) in multiples of 64 Number of Waveforms Sequence Length Sequence Repeat Counter Sequence Control Jump Mode Run Modes Continuous Triggered Gated Sequence Interleave operation Clock Generator Sampling frequency Resolution Internal Clock Accuracy Clock phase noise Internal Trigger Generator 1 to 16, 000 1 to 4, 000 steps 1 to 65, 536 or infinite Repeat count, Wait for Trigger, Go-to-N, and Jump Synchronous and Asynchronous Waveform is iteratively output. current Connector 4 (2 per channel) 2 Differential 50 SMA Front 4 (2 per channel) 2 -1. 4 V to +1. 4 V 0. 5 Vp-p to 1. 4 Vp-p 10 mV -2. 8 V to +2. 8 V ±(10% of setting + 50 mV) 45 ps (1. 0 Vp-p, Hi +1. 0 V, Lo 0 V) <13 ps (between each channel (+) Pos and (­) Neg output) (typical) <30 ps (between Marker 1 and Marker 2 output) (typical) 0 to 300 ps 1 ps ±(5% of setting + 50 ps) 1010 clock pattern 1 ps 215-1 PN data pattern (at 10-12 BER) 30 psp-p 1. 2 Vp-p into 50 .
