Introduction
M8199A Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Keysight’s M8199A 128/256 GSa/s Arbitrary Waveform Generator delivers
twice the sampling rate, coupled with 50 percent more analog bandwidth
and increased ENOB compared to legacy AWG products. This combination
of industry-leading specifications enables research engineers to quickly
and accurately develop advanced components for terabit transmission
systems.
The M8199A is the highest performing arbitrary waveform generator in the
world, enabling signal generation of up to 140 Gbaud with outstanding
signal quality in a 2-slot AXIe module. Whether testing the discrete
components of optical coherent systems or path-finding for terabit
transmission in the next-generation data center, the M8199A is ideal for
addressing the need for high sample rates and high analog bandwidth.
The M8199A is an instrument module that can be installed into the
M9505A 5-slot AXIe Chassis. This module occupies two slots.
