Wireless I/Q and IF Signal
Generation
Tektronix AWGs support “Wireless
Everywhere” by enabling the latest
Digital RF technology, increasing wireless network capacity and delivering
the performance that supports higher
modulation bandwidth and modulation
schemes.
The AWG 5000 Series’ 1.2 GS/s,
(600 MS/s), with enough signal
dynamic range and SFDR via 14 bit
vertical resolution meets narrowband IQ
applications to broadband IF applications. The AWG5000 is able to
generate not only analog IQ/IF signals,
but digital data IQ/IF. The MIMO
(Multiple Input Multiple Output) system
that supports W-LAN /Wi-Max using
space-multiplex with multiple antennas
is a leading edge technology for reliable
and faster data rate communication.
The AWG5000 Series generates up to
four analog channels (eight channels via
two instruments) to simultaneously
generate MIMO signals. The series can
generate two pairs of IQ signals (four
pairs with two instruments) as an IQ
generator, and four pairs of IF signals
(eight pairs with two instruments) as an
IF generator. With the two channels
models, ch 1 and ch 2 digital data
output is available as an option.

Spurious Performance
The 14 bit vertical resolution and
sophisticated design of the AWG5000
Series provides ample signal dynamic
range and purity. The SFDR performance is 80 dBc for 1 MHz signal and
64 dBc for 10 MHz signal.
Multi-Level Logic Signal
One technique to increase the data rate
without increasing the transition rate is
applying multi-level signals, wherein a
signal can assume more than the standard binary two levels. In multi-level
signaling, one can think of multi-level
discrete amplitudes of a signal. This
phenomenon is known as pulse amplitude-modulation or PAM. A 9PAM
signal, a signal with nine different amplitudes, increases the data rate by four
without increasing the transition rate of
the signal.
9-PAM with 250 Mbps.
The AWG5000 Series enables you to
test your latest design by generating
any kind of mixed or multi-level signal.
Mixed Signal Generation
AWG5012 and AWG5002 models can
generate two analog signals with fourdigital marker outputs, supporting 28
digital outputs (ch 1 and ch 2 data) as
an option. They deliver a mixed analog
and digital signal generator and the most
versatile solution for a broad range of
applications, including consumer electronics such as ADC/DAC converter
and imaging or display devices.

Waveform Generation
RFXpress (RFX100)
RFXpress is a software package that
synthesizes digitally modulated base
band IQ and IF signals. It takes IQ and
IF signal generation to the next level
and fully exploits the wideband signal
generation capabilities of Arbitrary
Waveform Generators (AWGs).
Supporting a wide range of modulations, as well as the symbol map functions, the software allows you to define
your own modulation.
RFXpress is a powerful easy-to-use
software package to synthesize IQ and
IF signals for arbitrary waveform generators (AWG). It runs as an integral part
of the AWG5000 series arbitrary waveform generators or from an external
PC.
