AWG6020
Preliminary Data Sheet

UltraFast
72 GS/s Arbitrary Waveform Generator!
The Micram Instruments AWG6020
enables researchers and engineers togenerate high order complex modulation
formats, such as 32-QAM, 64-QAM,
OFDM and advanced 4D formats, atultrafast performance levels neverpreviously available in a fully integrated
AWG. With dual output channels, fully
automatic channel synchronization, world
record sampling performance, very highanalog bandwidth and a fully integrated
MATLAB programming interface, theAWG6020 sets new standards of speed,
flexibility and control in complex signalgeneration.
