The AWG5000 series of arbitrary waveform generators are built on the same platform as the recently introduced AWG7000 series. With a single AWG5000, customers are able to generate high-resolution signals for testing both analogue and digital baseband and IF circuits in mixed-signal devices, increasing test efficiency and reducing costs. This generator is suitable for testing a variety of digital RF technologies including software defined radios and radars, WiMAX, Wi-Fi, MIMO, and UWB. With variable sample rates up to 1.2Gsamples/s and 14bit resolution, either two or four analogue channels and 28 digital outputs, the series enables engineers to effectively and efficiently test emerging digital RF applications using real-world signals. The series' high vertical resolution allows signal generation with a 80dB SFDR and two digital markers per analogue channel. The two channel versions feature an option for a pair of 14-bit parallel digital outputs which enable test of digital IF or digital I/Q systems. Additionally, the four channel models are support the testing of 4x4 MIMO systems.
