Dual Channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators

4050 Series

The 4050 Series Dual Channel Function/Arbitrary
Waveform Generators are capable of generating
stable and precise sine, square, triangle, pulse,
and arbitrary waveforms. With easy-to-read color
displays and an intuitive user interface with
numeric keypad, these instruments offer plenty

Extensive modulation capabilities include
amplitude and frequency modulation (AM/FM),
double sideband amplitude modulation
(DSB-AM), amplitude and frequency shift keying
(ASK/FSK), phase modulation (PM), and pulse

width modulation (PWM).
of features including linear/logarithmic sweep,
built-in counter, extensive modulation and
triggering capabilities, a continuously variable DC
offset, and a high performance 14-bit, 125 MSa/s
arbitrary waveform generator. The main output
voltage can be varied from 0 to 10 Vpp into 50
ohms (up to 20 Vpp into open circuit) and the
secondary output can be varied from 0 to 3 Vpp
into 50 ohms (up to 6 Vpp into open circuit).

Easily create custom arbitrary waveforms using
the included waveform editing software or output
any of the 48 built-in predefined arbitrary
waveforms. Up to 10 user-defined 16 kpt
arbitrary waveforms can be saved to the

The standard external 10 MHz reference clock

input allows the instrument to be synchronized

to an external 10 MHz source or another

generator. This feature is typically not found in

function generators at this price point.

Additionally, the phase of both output channels

can be conveniently synchronized with the push

of a button.

These versatile function/arbitrary waveform

generators are suitable for education and other

applications that require high signal fidelity, a

variety of modulation schemes, or arbitrary

waveform generation capabilities.
