Arbitrary Waveform Generators

AWGSYNC01 Synchronization Hub Datasheet

The AWGSYNC01 enables the multi-instrument synchronization of up to four AWG70001A or AWG70002A units allowing up to eight channels to be aligned to the same clock, pattern jump and trigger inputs. The AWGSYNC01 requires no additional software and allows for the rapid and consistent synchronization of multiple devices. The AWGSYNC01 provides calibration ports to deskew up to four AWG70000 instruments to within ±10ps. After the deskew process the AWGSYNC01 can repeatedly return to within ≤5 ps of the same deskew point.

High speed serial

For high-speed serial applications the AWG70000A Series offers the industry's best solution for addressing challenging signal stimulus issues faced by digital designers who need to verify, characterize, and debug complex digital designs. The file-based architecture uses direct synthesis to create complex data streams and gives users a simple, repeatable, and flexible way to solve the toughest signal generation challenges in high-speed serial communication applications. The AWGSYNC01 lets users synchronize multiple AWG instruments to output signals for complex or multi-lane standards such as HDMI and MIPI.

Coherent optical

Today's high speed and increasingly Web-driven world is pushing the demand for short and long haul coherent optical development. Phase modulation, high baud rate, high sample rate, bandwidth, and resolution are all critical to optical applications. Tektronix understands the challenges and inconsistencies of coherent optical testing and offers a reliable, easy to set up and high performance tool set for optical testing, waveform generation and calibration.

Generating the desired signal is only the first challenge in coherent optical. The quality of the signal, low EVM's, and having a clear, open eye is crucial. Complex quadrature modulations, such as PAM-4, require synchronized output from multiple AWG70000 instruments.

The AWGSYNC01 can synchronize multiple single-channel AWG70000 instruments, at the maximum 50 Gs/s sample rate, to output synchronized baseband signals with low EVM and 32 Gbaud performance. The AWGSYNC01 streamlines the complex multiple instrument signal synchronization alignment process, resulting in synchronized signals with a high rate of repeatability and with low jitter.

Research applications

Advanced research applications such as quantum computing, mass spectroscopy, MEMS, NEMS, and particle physics often demand the precise alignment of multiple simultaneous triggering, precompensation, or I/Q generation signals, all with low jitter. AWG70000 series instruments, used with the AWGSYNC01 Synchronization Hub, provide fast and repeatable results. Day to day experimental setups require no additional equipment for synchronization.

The AWGSYNC01 comes with all required phase-stable and delay-matched calibration and clock cabling needed to start synchronizing straight out the box. You can use the clock out signal from the Master AWG70000 instrument to synchronize the output signals, or use an external clock reference signal for higher precision when needed.

Sync to AWG (1-4): Communication ports used by to synchronize all connected AWG70000 instruments. The AWG70000 connected to Port 1 is the Master AWG70000, which sets up and controls synchronization of the connected instruments. You must connect an AWG70000 to Port 1. AWG70000 instruments connected to Ports 2 through 4 are Slave AWG70000 instruments.
Use the supplied orange cable assemblies to connect these ports to the AWG70000 instruments.
