Spectrum Instrumentation offers its new flagship Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) with a maximum of 6 channels at 10 GS/s or 12 channels at 5 GS/s output speed. The new DN6.63x Multi-Channel AWGs are part of the company’s Netbox series, a user-friendly instrument line that can be operated from any PC or network via an Ethernet cable.
The devices provide GHz waveform generation with exceptional precision by using high-speed 16-bit DACs. Designed for engineers and researchers who need several synchronized test signals, the new AWGs offer reduced cost and complexity compared to employing multiple single-channel generators.
With these 10 new variants, Spectrum now provides a total of 47 different generatorNETBOX products, enabling arbitrary waveforms from as low as 40 MS/s to an ultrafast 10 GS/s output rate.
The DN6.63x instruments provide ultra-low-noise outputs generating signals from DC to 2.5 GHz. With 4 to 12 synchronized channels in one enclosure, Spectrum Instrumentation establishes a new record for channel density and cost-per-channel efficiency in high-performance GHz signal production.
Precision Waveform Generation
All outputs can operate in single-ended or differential mode, with each channel using its own DAC synchronized via a precision PLL system.
For even the most demanding test scenarios, the outputs offer:
• Up to 1 Vpp/4 dBm into 50 ? or 2 Vpp into high impedance
• Noise Spectral Density: –150 dBm/Hz
• SNR: up to 64 dB
• SFDR: –90 dB
For creating lengthy or repeating sequences, there are several replay modes (Single-Shot, Loop, FIFO, Single Restart, Multiple Replay) and up to 48 gigasamples of internal memory.
A Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) option is offered which allows a single channel to generate up to 64 distinct sine waves, each configurable in frequency, amplitude, and phase, in increments of only 3.2 ns. Up to 384 sine waves in total are possible. DDS provides an easy technique to construct waveform trains, sweeps, or fine-tuned references for industrial, medical, imaging, quantum research, semiconductor testing, and communications applications.
Comprehensive Connectivity and SoftwareÂ
For straightforward system integration, front-panel I/O connectors enable access to digital marker outputs, trigger and status lines, PLL reference clock, and asynchronous I/O. A digital pulse generator option converts the multi-purpose connectors into individual pulse generators with programmable loops, duty cycle, frequency, and delay.
All Spectrum products include software support for Windows and Linux, with programming examples for e.g. Python, MATLAB, C++, and LabVIEW, plus a high-level Python API. Spectrum’s SBench 6 software, included with every NETBOX, offers an intuitive interface for instrument control, waveform design, and analysis.
It features EasyGenerator for standard signals and supports the creation of complex waveforms from equations, imported data (e.g., from digitizers or oscilloscopes), or common file formats such as ASCII, binary, and WAV.
Ready to Use and Built to Last
Each generatorNETBOX is ready to use out of the box – simply install the software and start working. The DN6.63x models are available now and include a 5-year warranty, free software and firmware updates for the lifetime of the product, and fast support directly from our design engineers.
