One lucky EPN reader will be taking home a fully operational AFG3021B function, pulse, and arbitrary waveform generator from Tektronix, worth over 1600 euros. Part of the AGF3000 Series that includes six variants with one or two channels and different maximum frequency capabilities, the instrument can be used to simulate one or two input signals from a missing or difficult to obtain component or sensor during the design phase of electronic circuits. These signals can be as simple as an audio frequency or clock signal or more complex such as a serial data stream or signal from an airbag sensor during a crash. The AFG3000 Series combines a Generator-on-a-Chip (GoC) ASIC for maximum performance with a straightforward user interface with a large display, all maximising productivity. The AGF3000 Series can deliver inputs and sine waveforms at frequencies up to 240MHz, generate arbitrary waveforms up to 2GSamples/s and up to 1ppm clock stability. Operation of the AFG3021B is easy to learn due to the largest display in the industry and intuitive user interface. The one-channel instrument outputs sine waves from 1µHz to 25MHz (1µHz to 12.5MHz in burst mode). Harmonic distorsion for 1Vpp is less than -70dBc in the 10Hz to 20kHz range and less than -40dBc in the 10 to 25MHz frequency range. Frequency can be set with a resolution of 1 μHz or 12 digits, and phase resolution is 0.1°.
