Highlights

M8199A 128 GSa/s Arbitrary Waveform Generator

The Keysight M8199A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) has the highest sample rate and the widest bandwidth in its class with up to four synchronized channels operating simultaneously in one module

  • Analog bandwidth up to 55 GHz
  • Continuous sample rate range up to 128 GSa/s for all 4 channels
  • Synchronization of up to 16 channels across 4 modules (128 GSa/s) 
  • Built-in frequency and phase response calibration for clean output signals
  • 6 bits ENOB, DC to 50 GHz, Fs 100 GSa/s
  • Intrinsic jitter: < 75 fs
  • Up to 1.4 Vpp differential output voltage @128 GBd
  • Transition time (20/80) as low as 5 ps
  • Channel-to-channel skew adjustment with 25 fs resolution
  • Synchronization of up to 16 channels across 4 modules
  • < 140 dBc wideband phase noise > 1 MHz
  • 512 KSa / 1 MSa of waveform memory per channel

Key Benefits of the M8199A Arbitrary Waveform Generator

  • 4 channels at 128 GSa/s 
  • Provides research engineers a high-performance signal source for arbitrary signals, enabling the development of designs up to 140 GBd
  • Integrated, ready-to-use instrument
  • Operates with well-known software, like MATLAB or Keysight IQ Tools and
  • SCPI programming interface based on M8070B
  • High flexibility with upgrade options from 2 channels at 128 GSa/s to 4 channels at 128 GSa/s

Keysight’s M8199A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) features four channels at 128 GSa/s  with up to 55 GHz nominal analog bandwidth.

As a high-performance arbitrary signal source, the M8199A enables the development of designs of up to 128 Gbaud, including advanced components for terabit transmission systems.

With up to 4 differential 128 GSa/s output channels per 2-slot AXIe module and the ability to synchronize up to 4 modules, the M8199A is well suited to stimulate multi-lane high-speed interfaces in an economic fashion.
