Description
Siglent SDG8004A 4 Channel, 5 GHz, 10 GSa/s Interpolation Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator
The Siglent SDG8004A Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator, part of the Siglent SDG8000A Series, is a high-performance function/arbitrary waveform generator designed for demanding communication, industrial, and scientific research applications. Featuring 4 analogue output channels, 16-bit vertical resolution, and a maximum interpolated sampling rate of 10 GSa/s (12 GSa/s Optional), the SDG8000A Series delivers exceptional waveform fidelity with output frequencies of up to 5 GHz and modulation bandwidths reaching 2 GHz.
With up to 4 Gpts waveform memory per channel, the series enables extended playback times without compromising signal bandwidth or waveform quality. Integrated SigIQPro functionality allows the generation of modern communication signals, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LTE, making it ideal for advanced RF and wireless development environments.
The SDG8000A Series also supports high-speed serial code (Hss) output, complex multi-layer sequence waveform generation, and advanced functions such as multipulse, multitone, and chirp generation, providing a versatile solution for a broad range of complex test and measurement requirements.
