Flexible operation

Channel tracking function

Customize your generator’s channel output

configuration with frequency, amplitude, and

phase coupling. When enabled, CH1 and CH2

can automatically track according to the user’s set

frequency, amplitude, and phase deviation ratio

between channels.

Harmonics function

Generate harmonics up to the 10th order with

independent amplitude and phase settings.

Advanced square and pulse generator

For applications requiring high signal integrity and edge stability, the 4050B Series can produce low

jitter pulse waveforms (Fig 2) compared to conventional DDS generators (Fig 1). The instrument can

also generate pulses with minimum rise/fall times of 16.8 ns (Fig 3), minimum pulse width of 32 ns

(Fig 4) and maximum rise/fall times of 22.4 seconds.

Generate arbitrary waveforms with ease

The provided waveform editing software can be

used to create point-by-point arbitrary waveforms

via freehand or waveform math functions. A

standard USB interface on the rear panel allows

users to easily interface with a PC to load these

arbitrary waveforms into the instrument. The front

panel also offers a convenient USB host port for

connecting your USB flash drive to save/recall

instrument settings and waveforms.

The 4050B Series features a large, non-volatile

flash memory of about 100 MB, allowing users to

create, store, and recall >1000 user-defined

16k point arbitrary waveforms or output any of the

196 built-in predefined arbitrary waveforms.

Channel combine function

Create complex waveforms by internally adding

each channel’s waveform and outputting the

combined waveform on channel 1 or 2.

Channel copy and sync function

Save time with the 4050B Series’ two indepen-

dent channels to output synchronous signals.

With a push of a button, all waveform parameters

can be quickly copied between channels to set up

identical output signals. Phase between channels

can also be adjusted from the front panel.

Generate high performance square waves with < 3.4 ns rise/fall times (Fig 5) and rms jitter

< 300ps + 0.05 ppm of period (Fig 6)
