BNC rolls out 50-MHz function/arbitrary waveform generator
-- Test & Measurement World, 12/9/2008 7:00:00 AM
Selling for the same price as its predecessor (the Model 632), the Model 645 from Berkeley Nucleonics is the first member of a new family of 50-MHz arbitrary waveform generators. The Model 645 addresses many different applications, including bench research and development, radar simulation, and circuit testing.
The instrument generates 50-MHz sine waves and 10-MHz arbitrary waveforms, offering variable period, pulse width, and amplitude for applications requiring a flexible pulse signal. You can also create complex custom waveforms leveraging the generator’s 14-bit resolution and 125-Msample/s sampling rate. The Model 645 stores up to five waveforms: four in nonvolatile memory and one in volatile memory.
Conventional capabilities include pulse, ramp, triangle, noise, and DC waveforms; AM, FM, PM (PSK), FSK, and PWM modulation; and linear and logarithmic sweeps and burst. New features include USB, LAN, and GPIB interfaces for remote operation, plus an updated version of WaveCrafter waveform creation software.
The Model 645 costs $1465.Berkeley Nucleonics, www.berkeleynucleonics.com.
