Arbitrary Waveform Generator Keysight M3202A

Description:

The M3202A PXIe arbitrary waveform generator is ideal for general purpose AWG automated test requirements, Quantum Computing and massive MIMO research. It offers high channel density with high-quality output with low phase noise. The optional real-time sequencing, inter-module synchronization, and graphical FPGA programming software tools expand its capability to enable a number of solutions including Quantum Computing research, 5G, wireless device manufacturing, ATE, MIMO, beamforming and other multi-channel coherent signal generation.
