WAVEFORM GENERATOR

Highland Technology logo
  • Four independently programmable waveform outputs: sine, triangle, sawtooth, square/PWM, Gaussian noise, and arbitrary waveforms.

  • Four additional internal wave generators are available as modulation or summing sources

  • Channels may be synchronized for coordinated polyphase or time-sync'd signals at same or ratio frequencies.

  • 0-32 MHz outputs with milli-Hertz resolution.

  • Up to 10.24 volts p-p output, programmable 5:1 attenuation and DC offset.

  • Test output and BIST are included.

  • External universal power supply or 12-volt DC power.

  • RS-232 interface standard; Ethernet optional.

  • OEM packaged or board-only custom.
The T346 is a compact 4-channel, 32 MHz waveform generator. It incorporates four DDS waveform synthesizers that may be used independently or synchronously to produce coherent signals. Waveforms include sine, triangle, sawtooth, Gaussian noise, and precision pulse/PWM outputs. User-loaded arbitrary waveforms may be generated.

Four additional waveform generators are provided internally as modulation/summing sources. Channel-channel modulation capability allows generation of sweeps, chirps, I/Q and constellations, and calibrated jitter, and simulation of a wide range of radar, communications, power, encoders, and electro-mechanical systems.

The T34x family of generators includes the T340 and T344.

The T346 can be an ideal system replacement for the HP models 3314A, 3325A, 3325B, 3326A, 8111A, 8116A, 8165A, 8175A,
and 8904A.
