M9330A Arbitrary Waveform Generator, 15 bit, 1.25GS/s - 2

2 The Agilent Technologies M9330A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is capable of creating high-resolution waveforms for radar, satellite, and frequency agile communication systems. Each channel of the M9330A operates at 1.25 GS/s and features 15 bits of vertical resolution giving designers the most realistic, wideband waveforms available from a commercial AWG. • 1.25 GS/s and 15 bits of vertical resolution per channel provides exceptionally realistic wideband waveforms • Dual output channels drive both single-ended and balanced designs without the need for baluns or hybrids • Extended...

4 System scalability Create phase-coherent, multi-emitter simulations using the M9330A’s precision SYNC clock. A single M9330A can drive a total of eight AWG modules to synchronize their outputs on a sample-by-sample basis. Any number of modules can be synchronized with simple driver hardware. The AWG also includes multiple front-panel triggers and markers for complete system synchronization. Ease-of-use The M9330A’s graphical user interface guides developers through module setup and waveform file transfers. Users can quickly configure the instrument’s signal conditioning paths, marker and...

5 Dynamic Sequencing (Option 300) The dynamic sequencing software enables radar and military communications engineers to build custom signal scenarios on the fly. Engineers can dynamically access up to 16 k of previously stored sequences through a 16-bit interface and replay these complex waveforms to respond to changing threat environments, or to create signals where the next waveform to be played is not known in advance. Dynamic Synthesis (Option 330) The direct digital synthesis (DDS) software enables radar and emerging communications engineers to create basic waveforms in the AWG’s...

8 KEY CHARACTERISTICS CONTINUED 1. A sync clock cycle is clock/8. Scenario jump modes Scenario jumps determine how a sequence responds to a jump trigger. There are no discontinuities in a scenario jump other than those imposed by the waveform data. Three modes are available to control scenario jumps: Jump immediate • Jumps immediately to the next specifie scenario address with a fixed latency. End of waveform • The current waveform (including repeats) is completed before jumping to a new scenario. End of scenario • The current scenario is completed before jumping to a new scenario. Jump...
