Arbitrary waveform generators are a type of signal generator that generate realistic waveforms and provide a wide range of excitation signals. The various types of signals they generate are often used to stress test devices for communication protocols. ,
Spectrum analyzers measure the amplitude of an input signal versus frequency over the entire frequency range to determine the power of the signal. Spectrum analyzers are capable of performing tests such as noise figure and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to characterize the performance of a device and its contribution to overall system performance. For more information, see the application guide Spectrum Analysis Basics. ,
Vector network analyzers (VNAs) are test instruments that measure electrical network parameters. They are essential for radio frequency (RF) and microwave component analysis of a wide variety of passive and active devices including filters, antennas and power amplifiers. Network analyzers are ideal for transmission, reflection and impedance measurements as well as s-parameter measurements during design and production. Network analyzers...
The Function Generator provides a preset list of waveforms or code patterns that it can generate. In a function generator, the user can change waveform parameters such as frequency, amplitude, and offset, as well as add simple distortion. Arbitrary waveform generators are more complex and can emulate real-world signals. Arbitrary waveform generators utilize pre-stored digital data to generate these waveforms,...
