Communications Design
and Test –
The AWG 610 generates predefined waveforms that simulate pseudo random bit
streams (PRBS) for physical
layer testing to the following
electrical standards:
ITU-T T1.102 Fibre Channel SDH/Sonet Misc
STM1E STS-# FC1063E OC/STM16 D2
E5 CEPT STS-1 FC531E OC36 D1
E4 DS4NA FC266E OC24 FDD1
E3 DS3 FC133E OC18 100 Base-TX
E2 DS2 OC12/STM4 Gigabit Ethernet
EI DS1/1C/1A OC3/STM1
OC1/STM0
Applications include characterization of designs for new
and emerging standards by
simulating “real” physical
layer conditions. Margin testing includes nominal and
impaired signals that simulate amplitude and timing
impairments like:
• Cross talk
• Intersymbol effects
• Reflections
• Ground Bounce
• Noise simulations
• Jitter testing, and more.

Duty cycle ranges from 0% to
100% for NRZ data.

High Performance AWG Family
The High performance AWG
family of Arbitrary Generators from Tektronix can create ideal signals conforming
to specific standards or “realworld” signals with speed,
precision and ease. They provide the highest clock speeds
from 1 GS/s to 2.6 GS/s, 10 or
8 bit DAC resolution and up
to 8 Mega bytes of memory
depth. They combine waveform generation and editing
in one package that enables
you to:
• create a waveform from
scratch
• automatically transfer a
waveform from a DPO
or DSO
• download signals created
via computer simulation
tools
• modify a signal using the
built-in editors
ARBITRARY WAVEFORMS
Waveform Length – 512 to 8,100,032
points in multiples of eight.
Sequence Length – 1 to 8,000 steps.
Sequence Repeat Counter – 1 to 65,536
or infinite.
CLOCK GENERATOR
Sampling Frequency – 50.000000 kHz to
2.6000000 GHz.
Resolution – 8 digits.
Internal Clock – Accuracy: ±1 ppm.
Phase Noise – (data clock is 1/4th of the
output sample rate)
At 650 MHz, 10 kHz offset:–80 dBc/Hz.
At 650 MHz, 100 kHz offset:–100 dBc/Hz.
OPERATING MODES
Continuous – Waveform is iteratively out-
put. If a sequence is defined, the sequence
order and repeat functions are applied.
Triggered – Waveform is output only once
when an external, internal GPIB and LAN, or
manual trigger is received.
Gated – Waveform begins output when gate
is true and resets to beginning when false.
Enhanced – Waveform is output as defined
by the sequence.
These instruments can simulate “real-world” signal
impairments such as Noise,
Jitter, Fading and more.
Their unique design integrates a graphical editing display with the most powerful
hardware output capabilities
available. This allows onscreen viewing of waveform
editing and simplifies “whatif” test scenarios by easily
allowing the creation of composite signals. The family
uses a graphical user interface to overcome the historical difficulties associated
with developing arbitrary and
complex waveforms. Several
intuitive and powerful techniques are built-in to develop
and edit custom waveforms.
AWG 610
As a premier member of the
Tektronix family of arbitrary
generators, the AWG 610 is
an easy-to-use, high performance, flag-ship product.
The AWG 610 provides the
world’s fastest and deepest
memory with its 2.6 GS/s
sample clock rate and
8 Mega-points of execution
memory.
INTERNAL TRIGGER GENERATOR
MAIN OUTPUT
NORMAL OUT
The AWG 610 provides up to
2 V output or 4 V into a differential input with the
complementary output with
460 MHz bandwidth at normal mode (1 V output or 2 V
into differential input with
the complementary output
with 875 MHz bandwidth at
direct out), each with 8-Bits
vertical resolution. The
AWG 610 also provides
2-channels complementary
2.5 V variable marker
(Tr/Tf : <150 ps @ 2 V
p-p
)
data 100 ps deskew resolution at up to 2.6 GHz.
System Considerations
The high performance AWG
610 is fully programmable
via GPIB. For throughput critical applications, the AWG
610 is also programmable via
the 10-Base-T Ethernet port
and provides an order of
magnitude faster data transfers. Its GPIB reduces the programming effort required. As
a result, it is the ideal addition to provide standard and
arbitrary waveform generation for your system environment. An optional rack
mount is available for easy
hardware integration into
your test system.
