Tektronix AWG2005 Data Sheet

Arbitrary Waveform Generator

AWG2005

AWG2005.

The AWG2005 offers 20 MS/s and 64 k
deep memory. As with the entire AWG2000
Series, the graphical user interface allows
on-screen viewing of waveform editing, sim­plifying “what if” test scenarios by allowing
the easy creation of composite signals.

The standard AWG2005 configuration pro­vides two independent 10 V outputs or a
third and fourth 10 V output (Option 02) each
with 12-Bits vertical resolution. Option 04
adds TTL digital levels with (2) 12-Bit, 100
MS/s ports and combines with the marker
outputs to provide a total of 28-Bits wide.

The built-in sweep generator (Option 05)
provides even more flexibility by offering
linear and logarithmic swept frequencies,
but even more significantly the AWG2005

has user definable sweep capability. This
allows creation of digitally modulated signals
at IF frequencies.

The built-in frequency domain (FFT) editor
(Option 09) is a perfect addition for customers
performing proprietary or standard I & Q
modulation simulations, filter design or in
circuit testing of physical layer. Real time
waveform sequencing extends the effective
record length output to over a billion points!

The AWG2005 easily simulates signals
where moderate point definition and long
records are required for simulating complex
waveform conditions. Direct waveform
transfer capability makes the AWG2005 the
perfect complement to selected Tektronix
oscilloscopes.

Characteristics

Standard Waveshapes

Sine, square, triangle, ramp, noise, arbitrary, linked
sequence, and DC.

Arbitrary Waveforms

Execution Memory – Waveform: 64 k (65,535)
for each channel. Marker: 64 k for each channel.
Waveform Size: 16 to 64 k in multiples of 16.

Real-time Sequence Memory – 8 k individual
waveforms.

Operating Modes

Continuous – Output waveform/sequence
continuous at programmed parameters.

Triggered – Output quiescent until triggered by
an external, GPIB, or manual trigger; generates
a waveform/sequence only one time.

Gated – Same as continuous mode except period
is executed only for the duration of the gated signal
until the sequence is completed.

Seq/Wfm Advance –

Continuous: Continuously outputs the
waveform/sequence in the Sequence file. The next
trigger advances to the next waveform/sequence.
Master/Slave Operation.

Step – Output quiescent until triggered; then exe­cute the next waveform/sequence in the Sequence
file. When the loop count reaches its value, output
stops and waits for next trigger.

Auto Step –

Continuous: Continuously outputs the
waveform/sequence in the Auto Step file. Step:
Output quiescent until triggered.

Master – Provides Point Rate Clock and Trigger to
a slave arbitrary waveform generator for phase
synchronous parallel operation.
