Fully operational without an external PC, with a built-in display and buttons for quick selection, editing, waveform playback, and triggering from the front panel.
Simulates real-world environments by playing back captured signals, which can be played back, edited, or re-sampled on the AWG.
Provides a smooth transition from simulation to the real-world testing environment.
Waveform vectors can be imported from third-party tools such as MATLAB.

Applications

RF/MW waveform generation for communications and defense electronics testing and development, outputting RF signals directly up to 4 GHz.
Leading-edge research in electronics, physics, and chemistry, serving as a high-speed, low-jitter signal source for uniquely specified analog signals, fast pulses, data streams, and clocks.

Seamless Transition from Simulation to Generation

The AWG5200 can reproduce any defined or captured waveform. Waveform creation can be achieved through an extensive library of waveform generation plugins optimized for the Tektronix AWG family, or via third-party solutions like MATLAB, Excel, and others. This flexibility allows for seamless transition from simulation to real-world applications.

Advanced Remote Instrument Control and Waveform Generation

The SourceXpress platform provides comprehensive AWG instrument control and waveform generation capabilities on a Microsoft® Windows PC. It allows users to load waveforms, create sequences, and enable playback remotely. Waveform creation plugins run natively on the SourceXpress platform, enabling rapid iteration of test signals without physical access to the lab equipment.

RF Signal Generation

The AWG5200 Series, when combined with the RF Generic waveform creation plug-in, addresses the challenges of accurately creating signals for RF conformance and margin testing. The RF Generic plug-in digitally synthesizes modulated baseband, IF, and RF signals, leveraging the advanced signal generation capabilities of the AWG5200 Series.

Several DAC Modes Available

The AWG5200 DAC offers several modes for signal output, allowing users to select the cleanest portion of the DAC bandwidth and frequency roll-off positions. These modes include NRZ, DDR, RZ, and Mix modes.

Built-in Digital IQ Modulator

The AWG5200 incorporates an advanced digital IQ modulator and multi-rate interpolation, which eliminates IQ mismatches found in external modulators and mixers. This feature also prevents in-band carrier feed-through and images. The built-in interpolators optimize waveform size and compilation times, while extending playback time.

Environment Signal Generation

For mission-critical radar signals that must coexist with standards-based commercial signals, the AWG5200 provides the flexibility and precision required to test worst-case scenarios, ensuring performance degradation is minimized.

Plug-ins

Plug-ins increase the capabilities of the arbitrary waveform generators. Various plug-ins are available providing unique types of waveforms or additional compensation. Each plug-in has its own installation file which installs seamlessly into the generators. After installation, it simply becomes a new menu selection. No other configuration is necessary.
