Keysight’s M9331A arbitrary waveform generator delivers unprecedented performance for creation of complex ultra-wideband (UWB) waveforms. The combination of high sampling rate and high-bit resolution in a single instrument enables designers to create ideal UWB waveforms for accurate system and subsystem test. Each channel of the M9331A provides 500 MHz of modulation bandwidths and over 50 dBc of spurious free dynamic range. When the M9331A is combined with a wideband I/Q upconverter, modulation bandwidth of 1 GHz can be realized at microwave frequencies for authentic signal simulations for intermediate frequency (IF) and radio frequency (RF) subsystem test.

Typical applications using these products include ultra-wideband test and measurement, wireless communications test and measurements, and commercial test and measurement applications.
