MODEL T346

WAVEFORM GENERATOR

  • 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.
