Showing Results for Keysight Technologies (Agilent HP) M8190A

The Agilent Technologies 8- or 12-GSa/s modular M8190A arbitrary waveform generator is able to deliver simultaneous high resolution and wide bandwidth along with industry-leading spurious-free dynamic range and very low harmonic distortion. With up to 14 bits of resolution, the M8190A makes it easy for designers to distinguish between signals and distortion in their test scenarios and stress their devices more rigorously. The 2-GSa memory of the instrument allows designers to create longer test scenarios that are more realistic.

The M8190A runs on an AXIe modular system, which is designed for high-performance instrumentation. It can be used with either a 2-slot or 5-slot chassis.
