A multifunctional generator with an innovative architecture
T3AWG2152 and T3AWG2152-D are multifunctional generators that combine many functions in one instrument, including Function Generator, Arbitrary Waveform Generator and Digital Pattern Generator.
These three-different functionalities leverage on the HW flexibility adopting two different technologies.
An improved Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) based technology adopted when using the Function Generator (AFG) allows the user to change glitch free on-the-fly all the parameters preserving the waveform shape.
All control and settings are always one touch away: swipe gesture to change the channel, the carrier selection and have access to the modulation parameters, swipe into the waveform gallery to import a signal at a glance and use the touch-friendly virtual numeric keyboard to change parameters values.
The variable clock, true-arbitrary technology adopted when using the Arbitrary Waveform (AWG) / Digital Pattern Generator lets the user create complex wave forms of analog and digital pattern, insert them in a sequence, apply loops, jumps and conditional branches. Digital output combined and synchronized with analog output signals represents an ideal tool to troubleshoot and validate digital design.
The waveform memory length of 128 Mpoints on each channel combined with number of waveforms entries up to 16,384 and the waveform repeat count higher than 4 x 109 or infinite make the T3AWG2152 and T3AWG2152-D the best-in-class waveform generators for the most demanding technical applications.
This disruptive and innovative hardware architecture provides the possibility to generate unmatched performance, versatile functionality, outstanding usability, making the TT3AWG2152 and T3AWG2152-D the ideal generator to simplify the job of engineers and researchers.
Transmitter Distortion Test
100Base-T1 and 1000Base-T1 Compliance simplified
Among the compliance tests specified for Automotive Ethernet standard, none is more complex to set up than the transmitter distortion test. Using the T3AWG2152, a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope and the QualiPHY Compliance Manager, testing is greatly simplified. Indeed, no access to the Transmitter under test clock (TX_TCKL) is required and the MATLAB code included in the specification is run directly inside the processing engine of the Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope, with neither requiring a separate PC. The T3AWG2152’s excellent Harmonic Distortion performance, combined with the output voltage amplitude range and the precise tuning of the delay and phase of the differential signal pairs, make the T3AWG2152 a perfect tool for emulating the disturber signal and avoiding the pitfalls that a designer might encounter during the execution of the test.

Double Pulse Test
Dynamic behavior of power devices in a minute
The T3AWG2152 and T3AWG2152-D user interface includes the capability of the Double Pulse function required for testing the dynamic behavior of power devices such as MOSFETs and IGBTs. Each of the two pulses can have a different amplitude, rise-time, fall-time and width. This unmatched flexibility of the double pulse test increases the engineer’s confidence in their design and enables them to reduce development time with faster and more effective testing. The Double Pulse function is a standard feature of the T3AWG3152 and T3AWG3152-D.

Arbitrary Waveform Generator – AWG Operating Mode
Generate complex and long signals with multiple waveforms in the sequencer. AWG operating mode uses variable and synchronized sample rate ‘True-Arb’ technology for applications requiring extremely high signal fidelity. The platform’s deep memory enables the capability to store numerous long waveforms.
- 16-bit vertical resolution
- Up to 16,384 waveform entries in the sequencer with loop, conditional/unconditional jump and specified triggered events
- Up to 4G or infinite waveform repeat count
- 128 Mpts arbitrary waveform memory on each channel (standard)
- Waveform granularity is 1 for waveform length >384
- Output impedance 50 Ω and 5 Ω selectable
- Variable load impedance selectable

Waveform Editor Utility
Create and edit both analog and digital complex waveforms and then insert them in the AWG sequencer for signals with a long playtime. Using the waveform editor utility, you will never be intimidated to generate complex signals, on the contrary we will see how easy it can be.
- Create and edit analog and digital waveforms
- Use graphical or tabular format or math formula
- Transfer waveforms directly to the AWG user interface
- Apply filters and add noise

Arbitrary Function Generator – AFG Operating Mode
Generate a large variety of functions including the traditional ones and more. Change parameters and apply modulations on-the-fly for the output signal. AFG operating mode uses an improved Direct Digital Synthesis (DSS) technology. The Double Pulse function is a standard feature, simplifying the testing of dynamic behavior of power devices.
