True Pulse Generators The TGP3100 Series are true pulse generators using all digital techniques. They can replicate the capabilities of traditional pulse generators whilst adding many additional facilities such as pulse modulations. Unlike DDS based function generators the TGP3100 Series can generate pulses up to 50MHz with very low jitter and high resolution of width and delay (100ps). They can also operate in an asynchronously triggered mode with low jitter. A high drive capability output stage enables up to 20 volts pk-pk to be driven into a 50 Ohm load. Application Examples ► Stress...

Features in detail Pulses at up to 50MHz The TGP3100 Series offers pulse repetition rates of up to 50MHz combined with precise control of pulse width, pulse delay and edge speeds. Pulse Generator Operation (1) Low Jitter Asynchronous Operation Unlike a function generator, the TGP3100 Series can generate pulses in response to an external trigger signal with minimal jitter. Exceptional Pulse Precision It achieves this using a compensation system that conventional generators can not replicate. Asynchronous pulse generation mode retains the ability to set width, delay and edge times with high...

Pulse Generator Operation (2) Double Pulse Operation Extensive Pulse Modulations Double pulse mode generates two identical pulses in each cycle with fully variable delay between the two. All other pulse mode capabilities are retained. In addition to pulse width modulation (PWM) the TGP3100 Series offers pulse delay modulation, amplitude modulation, amplitude summing with other waveforms, frequency and phase modulations, plus FSK frequency keying and BPSK phase shift keying. An additional modulation mode allows the delay between pulses to be modulated. Pattern Generation The modulation...

Noise & Function/Arbitrary Generator Operation High Performance Noise Generator The TGP3100 Series can act as high performance noise generators of variable bandwidth and amplitude distribution. Noise can be used as a main carrier waveform or as a modulation source for other waveforms. For example it can be used to generate edge jitter on pulse waveforms. Noise bandwidth can be set anywhere between 0.1Hz and 25MHz (12.5MHz on TGP312x models). Amplitude distribution can be gaussian with variable crest factor or it can be fully user defined. Waveform Manager Plus Waveform Manager Plus (version...

Modulations, Sweep & Burst Digital Modulation, Internal & External As with pulse waveforms, all function and arbitrary waveforms can be digitally modulated. The internal modulation source can use any of the standard or arbitrary waveforms currently within the generator (including noise and PRBS) thus removing the need for an external modulation source. A modulating frequency between 1mHz and 10MHz can be specified. An external modulation input enables any external waveform source to be used when required. The external bandwidth is DC to 5MHz. AM, AM-SC, FM and PM Waveforms can be modulated...

Two Channel Operation, Phase Locking ������������� Locking to Other Sources (TGP3122 & TGP3152 only) The generators are available in one channel or two channel versions, the latter incorporating two outputs with identical capabilities. On two channel generators, both channels provide the full performance and specification, along with entirely independent operation when required. The two channel models represent excellent value for money when compared to purchasing two generators. The TGP3100 Series includes external reference and phase locking as standard. Independent Channel Operation...

File Storage, Remote Interfaces, Rack Mounting UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS Filing System Patterns, Waveforms and Set-up files can be given user-defined names within the instrument. USB Flash Drive Interface A front mounted USB socket is incorporated for connection of flash memory disk drives which can store up to 1,000 patterns or waveforms and 1,000 setups. Unlimited Waveform/Pattern Storage These drives can be used both to store waveforms permanently and to transfer waveforms from or to a PC. Arbitrary waveform storage within the instrument is limited to four patterns and four waveforms. Each...

TGP3121, TGP3151, TGP3122, TGP3152 Note that specifications apply to 50MHz models (TGP3151 and TGP3152) and that specifications for 25MHz models (TGP3121 and TGP3122), where different, are in [square brackets] directly following the 50MHz specifications.
