I gotta tell you, I really like the SDG6022x.

Nice instrument. Very decent performance, snappy and the UI is great. Its a winner and at the current price point, especially for the SDG6022X it beats my other arbs in every respect (Tek AFG, Agilent/HP and Rigol DG4x) hands down…

Low Jitter View more

Low Jitter

Low Jitter

When a Square/Pulse waveform is generated by traditional DDS, there can be additional jitter if the sampling rate is not an integerrelated multiple of the output frequency. EasyPulse technology successfully overcomes this weakness in DDS designs and helps to produce low jitter Square/Pulse waveforms.

Point-by-Point Output View more

Point-by-Point Output

Point-by-Point Output

TrueArb generates arbitrary waveforms point-by-point. It never skips any point so that it can reconstruct all the details of the waveform, as defined. Two interpolation modes are available: linear and zero-order hold.

Create Waveforms Using EasyWave Software

EasyWave is an arbitrary waveform software platform that supports waveform creation and editing. It features manual drawing, as-wellas line, equation, and coordinate editing modes. It is also a convenient way for users to edit their own arbitrary waveforms.

Easily Add Noise View more

Easily Add Noise

Easily Add Noise

Gaussian noise with bandwidth up to 500 MHz. The repetition period is more than 100 years, and the bandwidth is adjustable. Wideband Gaussian noise can be easily added to other waveforms to simulate real-world scenarios in which the signal contains a large degree of noise.

IQ Modulation (optional)

IQ Modulation (optional)

The SDG6000X supports popular modulation types such as ASK, FSK, PSK, and QAM. Proprietary resampling technology provides excellent EVM performance at arbitrary symbol rates between 250 Symb/s – 37.5 MSymb/s. Built-in digital quadrature modulator provides the possibility to generate IQ signals from baseband to 500 MHz intermediate frequency.

Interpolated DDS Technique in SDG2000X

Download PDF Preface As can be seen in the data sheet for Siglent’s SDG2000X arbitrary waveform generator series, the sampling rate specification (1.2 GSa/s) is followed by a note of “4X Interpolation”. This may be confusing to some customers, even some experienced users of function generators. This white paper is intended to explain this specification … Continued
