Introduction
M8194A Overview
The Keysight M8194A is a 120 GSa/s AWG (Arbitrary Waveform
Generator) with highest combination of speed, bandwidth and channel
density. The M8194A is ideally suited to address following key
applications:
• Coherent optical – a single M8194A module can generate 2
independent I/Q baseband signals (dual polarization = 4 channels) at
64 Gbaud and beyond.
• Multi-level / Multi-channel digital signals – generate NRZ, PAM4,
PAM8, DMT, etc. signals at up to 56 Gbaud. Embed/De-embed
channels, add Jitter, ISI, noise and other distortions.
• Physics, chemistry, and electronics research – generate any
mathematically defined arbitrary waveforms, ultra-short yet precise
pulses and extremely wideband chirps.
• Wideband RF/
μ
W – generate extremely wideband RF signals with an
instantaneous bandwidth of DC to 32 GHz for aerospace, defense and
communication applications.
Key Features
The M8194A 120 GSa/s Arbitrary Waveform Generator has the following
key features:
• Sample rate up to 120 GSa/s (on each channel)
• 1, 2 or 4 differential channels on a 1-slot AXIe module enable optimized
channel density
• Vertical resolution: 8 bits
• Arbitrary signal generation with frequency content up to 50 GHz
• 8-bit vertical resolution
• 512 kSamples per channel (enables PRBS 2
