Right now, the fastest 14-bit AWG and arbitrary function generator available is the Model 686 arbitrary waveform generator. It has a 6.5 GHz sine wave, 14-bit resolution, and a real-time update rate of 20 GS/s. The Model 686 is a feature-rich mixed signal generator that can produce 4 analog signals at a frequency higher than ever before, all of which are fully synchronized with 32 digital lines. The Model 686 has been optimized to deliver exceptional analog performances with a fast rise time of 50 ps and a maximum amplitude of 5 Vpp.
Berkeley Nucleonics currently offers the Model 686 in 2 or 4 channel models. Best-in-class Simple Rider Software is included with every model to guarantee an easy-to-use interface. In addition to its interface, the Model 686 has an amazing intra-chassis synchronization bus that allows up to 4 units (i.e., 16 analog channels and up to 128 digital channels) to be synchronized simultaneously. This confirms the Model 686's status as the world's most powerful mixed signal generator.
The Model 686 has additional noteworthy specs, such as a 10 GHz bandwidth, 5 Vpp output range, and a 9 Gsample memory depth. Fast quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum sensing, RF wireless, optics and photonics, aerospace and defense, and other fields can all benefit from the use of the Model 686.
