Characteristics Description
Sin(x)/x bandwidth The sin(x)/x bandwidth can be solved for using the following equation:
20 * log (sin(x)/x) = -3
For interleaved waveforms: x = 2π * fout ÷ fsample
For non-interleaved waveforms: x = π * fout ÷ fsample
fsample = sample rate
fout = sin(x)/x bandwidth
AWG70001B ≤ 25 GS/s (non-interleaved): 11.1 GHz × fsample ÷ 25 GS/s

Calibration is done with a small signal to keep the amplifier in a linear range. When playing
out full amplitude signals at high levels the amplifiers can be driven into compression and the
output amplitude will not match the requested level and the signal can be distorted.

The procedures use “AWG” when referring to the AWG70000B series instruments.
The tests in this section comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of performance
and functionality when the following requirements are met:
The cabinet must be installed.
You must have performed and passed the procedure Diagnostics and
Calibration, and the procedure Functional Tests.
The AWG must have been last adjusted at an ambient temperature between
+20 °C and +30 °C, must have been operating for a warm-up period of at
least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient temperatures between
+10 °C and +40 °C.
