SIGLENT’s SDG7000A is a family of dual-channel Arbitrary Waveform Generators that feature up to 1 GHz bandwidth, a maximum sample rate of 5 GSa/s, and 14-bit vertical resolution. It can generate arbitrary waveforms point by point with a maximum 2.5 GSa/s sample rate and vector signal with a maximum of 500 MS/s. It also has the ability to generate a variety of signals such as continuous wave, Pulse, Noise, PRBS patterns, and a 16-bit digital bus. It supports the generation of complex signals such as modulation, sweeping, bursting, and dual-channel copying/coupling/tracking and superposition. The output is differential/single-ended and supports a maximum output range of ± 24 V. The instrument can ensure a large amplitude under high frequency which eliminates an external power amplifier in some applications and addresses a wider range of requirements.

The SDG7000A series integrates multiple waveform generator functions from DC to continuous waves up to 1 GHz, which can replace RF signal generators in some applications. It adopts Siglent’s TrueArb point-by-point arbitrary waveform generation technology, which enables user-adjustable output sample rates from 0.01 Sa/s to 2.5 GSa/s with excellent jitter performance and the generation of I/Q vector signals with a maximum settable bandwidth greater than 500 MHz. Using the benefits of Siglent’s EasyPulse architecture, a low jitter pulse with a minimum pulse width of 1 ns can be generated. The SDG7000A also features a Gaussian noise output with adjustable bandwidth, Pseudo-random code generation, an optional 16 channels of digital signal output for synthesizing digital communications, and much more.

24Vpp analog output superimposed with ± 12 Vdc offset, providing a maximum output range of ± 24 V (48 V).

AFG mode uses traditional DDS technology to generate arbitrary waveforms.

AWG mode uses the innovative TrueArb technology, with an adjustable sample rate from 0.01 Sa/s~ 2.5 GSa/s and a jitter less than 20 ps. It not only has all the advantages of traditional DDS technology but also overcomes its intrinsic jitter and distortion defects. The flexible platform also provides zero-order hold, linear, and sinc interpolation methods for increased flexibility when creating complex waveforms. 

The SDG7000A supports up to 1024 arbitrary wave segments, each of which can be set with a maximum of 65535 repetitions. When switching between segments, the output seamlessly moves from the last point of the previous segment to the first point of the next segment without generating an idle level. It is suitable for applications with high requirements for waveform switching. 

Supports extensive arbitrary wave editing functions including manual, linear, coordinate, and equation drawing that facilitate rapid generation of the required waveforms. The EasyWaveX editing software is embedded in the SDG7000A, and can also be installed in a computer, interacting with the SDG7000A over USB or LAN interfaces.

When a Square/Pulse waveform is generated by traditional DDS, there can be additional jitter if the sample rate is not an integer-related multiple of the output frequency. EasyPulse technology successfully overcomes this weakness in DDS designs and helps to produce low jitter Square/Pulse waveforms.

The minimum 1 ns pulse width, can be generated at any frequency. The pulse width can be finely adjusted in steps of 10 ps.

Adjustable fine step resolution to 100ps.The minimum edge is 500 ps and can be generated at any frequency. The rising/ falling edge can be set respectively and can be used to generate an asymmetric pulse.
