IoT and Industry 4.0

Arbitrary waveform and function generators will help define new industrial practices for testing the compliance of smart devices. These machines can modulate RF I/Q to enabling simulated testing environments and are capable of generating noise to test against wireless devices, thus allowing for emulations close to or matching compliance test standards required for industry 4.0 applications.

University and Research Institute

Research centers and Universities are key users of the Model 676 Arbitrary Waveform Generator. A combination of fast edge generation, excellent dynamic range, and an accessible user interface enables scientists and engineers the ability to create strictly-defined, sophisticated pulse emulations. A perfect emulation based on variable edges, or multilevel, fulfills an essential need in scholastic experiments such as accelerators, Tokamak, or synchrotrons--without the need for expensive custom test boards.

Aerospace and Defense

Electronics warfare signals, driven by Radar or sonar systems match perfectly with these generators. Large BW Riders can be used on digital modulation systems for Radio Applications, or other I/Q signal modulations. As well, pulses may be generated for applications such as pulse electronic beams, X-ray sources, flash X-ray radiography, lightning pulse simulators, or high power microwave modulators.​
