Signal Generators

IMEX supplies a range of Tektronix signal generators, including the AFG3000 Arbitrary/Function Generator Series, with its large display and intuitive user interface, is both easy to learn and easy to use. Operation is just as intuitive as Tektronix oscilloscopes,speeding design and time to market. The front panel memory USB connectivity makes it easy to save and transfer waveforms and settings.

Arbitrary waveform generators offer a degree of versatility that few other instruments can match. In addition to creating standard waveforms, they can generate "real world" signals with all the glitches, drift, noise and other anomalies that a device-under-test will encounter when it leaves the lab or manufacturing floor. With their ability to produce all the types of waveforms that you can imagine, these mixed signal generator instruments embrace applications that include serial data communication simulation, wireless network stress testing, disk drive testing and much more. Key capabilities include:

• Analog, digital and mixed signal generation


• Up to 4 analog outputs, 28 digital outputs, and 4 variable level marker outputs


• Industry-leading performance: up to 20 GS/s sample rate; up to 5.8 GHz bandwidth


• Up to 14-bit vertical resolution


• Real-time sequencing control to create infinite waveform loops, jumps, patterns and conditional branches


• Integrated PC, large color display, touch screen, removable hard drive, CD/DVD drive, USB ports, Ethernet and GPIB, providing flexibility to enhance productivity.

Remember that the AFG3000 ranges comes as standard with a 3 year warranty - ideal for student labs and research.
