SDG2000X Series Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators

dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generators with specifications of up to 120MHz maximum bandwidth

Product Overview

SIGLENT’s SDG2000X is a series of dual-channel function/arbitrary waveform generators with specifications of up to 120MHz maximum bandwidth, 1.2GSa/s sampling rate and 16-bit vertical resolution. The proprietary TrueArb & EasyPulse techniques help to solve the weaknesses inherent in traditional DDS generators when generating arbitrary, square and pulse waveforms. With advantages above, SDG2000X can provide users with a variety of high fidelity and low jitter signals, which can meet the growing requirements of complex and extensive applications.

Characteristics

With SIGLENT’s TrueArb technology, the generator retains the advantages of DDS technology while overcoming the serious weaknesses of DDS jitter and distortion. Because 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. Date points will not missed or repeated and arbitrary waveforms possess very low jitter (< 150ps).

TrueArb technology produces an arbitrary waveform point-by-point, not missing any details of the waveform

Like EasyPulse technology, TrueArb technology effectively overcomes the limitations of DDS to produce a sampling period with very low jitter

When a Square/Pulse waveform is generated by DDS, there will be a one-clock-jitter if the sampling rate is not an integer-related multiple of the output frequency. SDG2000X EasyPulse technology successfully overcomes this weakness in DDS designs and helps to produce low jitter Square/Pulse waveforms.

Benefiting from a 1.2GSa/s and 16-bit sampling system, SDG2000X achieves extremely high accuracy performance in both time domain and amplitude, which results in more accurately reconstructed waveforms and lower distortion.

Excellent Analog Channel Performance

The bandwidth of analog channels proves to be greater than 120MHz, via doing a frequency response test with white noise.

High fidelity sine output. Almost no spurious observed @60MHz, 0dBm.

Capacity of outputting large signal at high frequency. Dual-channel, 20 Vpp amplitude can be guaranteed even @20 MHz.

Low noise floor, improves signal-noise ratio.

The Pulse width can be fine-tuned to the minimum of 16.3ns with the adjustment step as small as 100ps.

The rise/fall times can be set independently to the minimum of 8.4ns at any frequency and to the maximum of 22.4s. The adjustment step is as small as 100 ps.

Support for AM, FM, PM, FSK, ASK, DSB - AM provide for a variety of analog and digital modulation mode, "internal" and "external" modulation.

Two Burst mode: "N cycle" and "Gated” control. Internal and external modulation available.

Support both log and linear sweep modes, "up" and "down" sweeping. Three kinds of triggering: Internal, External and Manual

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

4.3” touch screen display, makes operation much more convenient.

EasyWave is a powerful arbitrary waveform editing software 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.
