The Teledyne LeCroy T3AWG2152 Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator combines many functions into one instrument, including Function Generator, Arbitrary Waveform Generator and Digital Pattern Generator. These three different functionalities leverage HW flexibility by adopting two different technologies. An improved Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) based technology is adopted when using the Function Generator (AFG), allowing the user to change all of the parameters - glitch free on-the-fly - therefore preserving the waveform shape.

All controls and settings are one touch away - users can swipe to change the channel, the carrier selection and have access to the modulation parameters; and swipe into the waveform gallery to import a signal at a glance, using 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 patterns, insert them in a sequence, apply loops, jumps, and conditional branches. Digital output combined and synchronized with analog output signals represents the ideal tool to troubleshoot and validate digital designs.

The waveform memory length of 128 Mpoints on each channel, combined with number of waveforms entries and the waveform repeat count - higher than 4 x 109 or infinite - make the T3AWG2152 a great waveform generator, even for the most demanding technical applications.

This disruptive and innovative hardware architecture provides the possibility to generate unmatched performance, versatile functionality, and outstanding usability. All of these features will simplify the job of engineers and researchers alike.

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 specifications is run directly inside the processing engine the oscilloscope, 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 the 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 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.

Arbitrary Waveform Generator - AWG Operating Mode

Generate complex and long signals with multiple waveforms in the T3AWG2152 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.

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.

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.
