Arbitrary Waveform Generators — AWG5000 Series

Environment Signal Generation

Radar signals must coexist with other commercial standard signals sharing

the same spectrum, yet are still expected to perform with no performance

degradation. This isn't unreasonable given its mission-critical operations.

To meet this expectation, a radar designer has to thoroughly test all the

corner cases at the design/debug stage. The AWG5000 and RFXpress

Environment plug-in offers extreme flexibility to define and create these

worst-case scenarios.

You can specify up to 25 signals to define your environment, including

WiMAX, WiFi, GSM, GSM-EDGE, EGPRS 2A, EGPRS2B, CDMA,

W-CDMA, DVB-T, Noise, and CW Radar. This plug-in also allows you

to seamlessly import signals from other RFXpress plug-ins (including

spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes, into your environment. You can also

configure PHY parameters of your standard-specific signals. You can define

the carrier frequency, power, start time, and duration for all the signals in

your environment, so you have full control over the way these signals

interact/interfere with each other.

Mixed-signal Generation

AWG5012 and AWG5002 models have an optional 28 digital output

channels with high-resolution edge placement, making them a great
