T3AFG Series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators

Teledyne LeCroy's T3AFG range of generators are a series of single- and dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generators with specifications of up to 500 MHz maximum bandwidth, 2.4 GSa/s maximum sampling rate, 20 Mpts per channel maximum memory, and 14-bit or 16-bit vertical resolution dependent on the model. The proprietary TrueArb and EasyPulse techniques used on the higher bandwidth models help to solve the weaknesses inherent in traditional DDS generators when generating arbitrary, square, and pulse waveforms. With these advantages, the T3AFG generators can provide users with a variety of high fidelity and low jitter signals that can meet the growing requirements of complex and extensive applications. The T3AFG 200 MHz, 350 MHz, and 500 MHz models also optionally support I_Q signal generation with symbol rates between 250 symbols/s to 37.5 Msymbols/s, providing ASK, PSK, QAM, FSK, MSK, and multi-tone signals. The built-in quadrature modulator provides the possibility of generating I_Q signals from baseband to 500 MHz intermediate frequency (depending on T3AFG model).
