SDG1000X Series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators

TrueArb Technology Architecture

With SIGLENT’s TrueArb technology, the SDG1000X signal generator retains the advantages of DDS technology while overcoming the serious weaknesses of DDS jitter and distortion. TrueArb technology generates arbitrary waveform in a point-by-point fashion, every data point is used to generate the output signal which has been stored in memory. Data points will not missed or repeated and arbitrary waveforms possess very low jitter (< 150ps).

Identical dual output-channels with high performance

Capable of outputting large signals at high frequencies. Dual-channels, 20 Vpp amplitude can be guaranteed at up to 10 MHz.

Low Distortion Output

With 0 dBm output, the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) is less than 0.075%. Harmonics and spurs are less than -40 dBc throughout the entire bandwidth.

Innovative EasyPulse Technology

When a Pulse waveform is generated by a common DDS generator, there will be a one-clock-jitter if the sampling rate is not an integer-related multiple of the output frequency. SDG1000X EasyPulse technology successfully overcomes this weakness in DDS designs and helps to produce low jitter Pulse waveforms.

Rise/Fall Times

The rise/fall times can be set independently to the minimum of 16.8 ns at any frequency and to the maximum of 22.4 s. The adjustment step is as small as 100 ps. The Pulse width can be fine-tuned to the minimum of 32.6 ns with the adjustment step as small as 100ps.

High-performance Square Waves

Benefitting from a special square-wave generating circuitry, the Square from the Siglent’s SDG1000X breaks the 60 MHz bandwidth barrier, reaching rise/fall times of less than 4.2 ns, and frequencies up to 60 MHz.

Sqaure Wave Jitter Performance

The Square wave exhibits the same excellent jitter performance as the Pulse waveform.

Innovative TrueArb Technology

For arbitrary waveforms, TrueArb not only has all the advantages of traditional DDS, but also eliminates the probability that DDS may cause serious jitter and distortion.

TrueArb generates arbitrary waveforms point by point, never skips any point so that it can reconstruct all the details of the waveform as defned.

As with EasyPulse, TrueArb effectively overcomes the defect that DDS may cause the one-clock-jitter in arbitrary waveforms.

SDG1000X Modulation Function

Multiple modulation types: AM, DSB-AM, FM, PM, FSK, ASK, PSK and PWM. The modulation source can be configured as “Internal” or “External”.

Burst Function

Two Burst modes, “N cycle” and “Gated”. The Burst source can be configured as “Internal”, “External” or “Manual”.

Sweep Function

Two Sweep modes, “Linear” and “Log”. Two Sweep directions, “Up” and “Down” and three Sweep sources, “Internal”, “External” and “Manual”.

Frequency Counter

High precision Frequency Counter with an input frequency range of 0.1 Hz~200 MHz.

Harmonics Function

Up to 16 harmonics may be generated. Amplitude and phase of each harmonic can be set independently

Waveform Combining

Capable of combining the waveforms of 2 channels from internal, providing more flexible tools to generate complex waveforms.

Arbitrary Waveform Software EasyWave

EasyWave is a powerful arbitrary waveform editing software program that supports several ways to generate arbitrary waveform such as manual drawing, line-drawing, equation-drawing, coordinate-drawing, etc. It is quite convenient for users to edit their own arbitrary waveforms through EasyWave.
