Creating Wireless Signals with Arbitrary Waveform Generators

Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) have been commercially available and steadily improving in performance for many years. Advanced arbitrary waveform generators like the latest Tektronix AWG series are now capable of supporting many of today’s most complex wireless test signals.

The modern AWG can generate base-band, IF and RF frequency stimulus for efficiently testing wireless device and system performance. The 24 GS/s, 10-bit deep resolution of the AWG7000 can even accommodate extreme applications like Ultra Wide Band (UWB) radio designs. Similarly, the 14-bit deep resolution of the AWG5000 can handle high dynamic range narrow band applications.

The unique value of the arbitrary waveform generator quickly becomes apparent when synthesizing complex digital wireless modulations.

In this primer we look at the technology propelling the digital wireless revolution, some common AWG wireless test applications and important considerations for getting the best performance possible from the arbitrary waveform generator.
