Arbitrary waveform generator on PCI Express card is well suited for creating complex waveforms.

Available now from Strategic Test, the UF2e-6110 is a two-channel 125Msample/s 8bit arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) on a PCI Express card With synchronous multichannel capability, the AWG card is well suited for creating complex waveforms in applications that include I and Q signal generation, radar system development, communications testing, laser positioning and HDTV signal generation

Each channel has its own 8bit digital to analogue convertor to ensure synchronous output and a choice of three reconstruction filters (5th and 4th order Butterworth lowpass) giving bandwidths of 25MHz, 5MHz or 500kHz.

A no-filter option is also software-selectable.

Typical dynamic specifications include signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of better than 60.9dB, total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 69.1dB and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) greater than 71.9dB.

The board is supplied with 64Msample of signal memory as standard, but can be expanded to 4Gsample through a proprietary onboard DIMM module.

As with all UltraFast AWG boards, the signals can be downloaded to onboard memory, output one time, or continuously until stopped, or continuously streamed gap-free from the host PC RAM or hard disks.

Prices start at US $4790.

All UltraFast boards are supplied with the free-of-charge SBench software that allows users to generate and output waveforms without programming.

SBench is available for both Windows and Linux.
