Generic Precompensation Datasheet Setup Waveform Plug-in Sequ: Output Filepath C:\Ctnrection FNesXCorrectiQnCDefficients.cc The Tektronix Generic Precomensation application plug-in enhances the capabilities of either the AWG70000A Series Arbitrary Waveform Generators or the SourceXpress® waveform generation software, adding the ability to create correction coefficients that can be applied on waveforms to get flat frequency and linear phase response. • Create correction coefficients that can be applied on waveforms to get flat frequency and linear phase response • Works for a variety of waveform types and applications including RF, IF, IQ & NRZ signals, and high speed serial applications • Offline Mode: Plug-ins are designed to also run on an external PC via the SourceXpress PC application, thereby reducing the time taken to synthesize large waveforms and leaving the AWG70000A instruments free for continued testing. • The easy to use graphical user interface integrates seamlessly with the Tektronix AWG70000A series user interface and the SourceXpress PC Create clean signals Users today need the cleanest signals and the lowest EVMs possible. The Precompensation plug-in is the key to generating the correction factors and applying them on the signals to get the best signals and cleanest performance from your AWG. While creating waveforms for testing wideband receivers, it is important that the test equipment generate signals with flat frequency and linear phase response. Users can compensate for the first and second Nyquist zones of the AWG. IF users can define the LO frequency and choose to get correction coefficients for either Lower Side Band or Upper Side Band as well as define the carrier frequency. In all the modes, users can define the bandwidth of compensation either by specifying Start and End frequencies (RF & IF) or Bandwidth (in IQ/IQ with modulator). * Plug-in installed with SourceXpress on PC: o SourceXpress software version 5.2 or greater ° PC operating systems: Windows 7 (64 bit), Windows 8 (64 bit), • Plug-in installed on AWG70000A Series instrument: ° AWG70000A firmware version 5.2 or greater
