BK Precision 4079C – Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator (2 Channel / 50 MHz)

• Two channels

• 50MHz maximum frequency

• Up to 250 MSa/s sampling rate
• User defined arbitrary waveform length up to 4 Mpts/ch
• Amplitude range of 0 to 10 Vpp into 50 Ω or up to 20 Vpp into an open circuit

BK Precision 4078C Series Arbitrary/Function Waveform Generators are versatile, high-performance dual-channel arbitrary waveform generators with 16-bit amplitude resolution. They provide variable output voltages from 0 to 10 Vp-p into 50 ohms, up to 20 Vp-p into an open circuit, and a continuously variable DC offset to bias the output signal at a desired level.

These generators provide a variety of modulation schemes along with combined AM plus FM capabilities. Simulate analog VCOs and VCAs by applying a voltage to the external modulation input.

Perform linear or logarithmic sweeps continuously, on trigger, or in burst. Sweep the frequencies at any rate between 1 ms to 500 seconds.

Custom arbitrary waveform generation is implemented with a true point-by-point design, offering improved signal integrity by producing significantly less jitter and distortion compared to a DDS based architecture.

Generate high resolution true arbitrary waveforms up to 250 MSa/s without skipping points. Use the provided software to edit waveforms and convert them from .txt, .csv and .bin files to .arb files for download to the instrument. Alternatively, custom waveforms can be created from the front panel using the built-in waveform editor.

Use the 407XC software utility to import waveform data in .txt or .csv format for download to the instrument for execution. Waveform data can be directly uploaded via USB or LAN interface or by saving it in *.arb format to a USB drive.
