Strategic Test (Woburn, MA) announced the UF2e-6110 two-channel 125Msps 8-bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) PCI Express card. The board is supplied with 64 mega samples (Ms) of signal memory as standard, and can be expanded to 4 giga samples (Gs) through a proprietary onboard DIMM module.
With synchronous multi-channel capability, the AWG card is suited for creating complex waveforms in applications that include I&Q signal generation, radar system development, communications testing, laser positioning, and HDTV signal generation.
Each channel has its own 8-bit digital-to-analog Converter (DAC) to ensure synchronous output and a choice of three reconstruction filters (5th and 4th order Butterworth lowpass) giving bandwidths of 25MHz, 5MHz, or 500kHz. A no-filter option is software-selectable.
Typical dynamic specifications include signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of better than 60.9dB, total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 69.1dB and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) greater than 71.9dB.
As with all UltraFast AWG boards, the signals can be downloaded to on-board memory, output one time, or continuously until stopped, or continuously streamed gap-free from the host PC RAM or hard disks.
Prices start at $4790. For options to customize the instrument, go to Strategic Test.
