Arbitrary Waveform Generator Keysight M8196A

Key Applications

200G, 400G and 1 terabit applications demand a new class of generator that simultaneously provides high speed, precision, and flexibility.

• Optical communications (LR4, CFP2-ACO, Coherent, etc.) — 4 synchronized channels allow deterministic emulation and pre-distortion of 2 independent I/Q baseband signals up to 64 GBaud
• Receiver stress test — particularly for multi-level, multi-channel interfaces (NRZ, PAM4, PAM8, DMT, etc.) up to 64 GBaud
• Quantum physics and advanced research — generate any mathematically-defined arbitrary waveforms, ultra-short yet precise pulses, and extremely wideband chirps
• Random interference (RI) and sinusoidal interference (SI) — works with M8020A and M8040A modules. Operate with M8070A BER System control software.
