100MS/s Sample Rate New technology requirements are driving communications systems to use increasingly narrow channel widths. A high sample rate of 100MS/s makes the 1072 an ideal modulation source for troubleshooting new encoding schemes. The 1072 also provides high-speed waveforms to simulate signal distortion, video signals, component failures, and power supply line cycle dropouts and transients.

High Performance Each channel of the 1072 delivers precise waveforms with 14 bits of amplitude resolution and 14 digits of frequency resolution with extremely low phase noise. Exceptional electrical performance includes up to 10Vp-p into 50Ω over the full frequency range. Selectable filters ensure clean stimulus waveforms enabling the generator to simulate modulation waveforms.

14 Bit Resolution The 14-bit resolution provides 16,384 output levels. This means that even audio waveforms can be generated with excellent fidelity. It also allows video-and other complex waveforms-to be generated with small details superimposed on large signals, in order to test the response of receiving systems.

Function Generator When used as a simple function generator the instrument offers ten basic waveforms with adjustable parameters all of which are accessible from the front panel. These are sine, triangle, square, pulse, ramp, sinc, Gaussian, exponential (up and down), noise, as well as DC. Sine and square waves can be generated at up to 50MHz.

2M Memory The 1072 offers 1M word (2M word optional) memory for arbitrary waveforms. In addition, the memory can be divided into as many as 4096 segments, which can be looped and linked in many different ways. Using 1M word at 25MS/s to generate a video signal, for example, the duration is 0.04 seconds, 25Hz, even without any looping of repetitive elements.

Sequence Generator When the sequencing facilities are employed, the 1072’s uniqueness is obvious. The memory segments can be linked and repeated in any combination both manually and under programmed control. This allows test software to switch between many different waveforms rapidly without the need to download multiple times, enhancing test throughput in a way that unmatched by competing products. The sequence generator has four advanced modes: automatic, stepped, single and mixed, which make it even a more powerful tool.

High-Quality Modulation Signal Source One of the many attractive features of the 1072 is the sample clock modulation function. In ordinary arbitrary waveform generators, to make a frequency modulated sine wave you have to enter the complete mathematical function. Not so with the 1072: all that is necessary is generating the carrier signal, and then modulating the clock to obtain the required result. The sample clock modulation can be done using internal waveforms such as sine, square, triangle, and ramp or using downloaded arbitrary modulating waveforms. This allows you to generate signals that would be difficult or impossible to define using an equation. AM, Linear and Logarithmic Sweeps, FSK and Ramped FSK are available as well.

Triggering Facilities However versatile the waveform generation systems are made, the need for external control of generation is vital. The triggering facilities of the 1072 match the generation functions in versatility. In the simplest mode, signals are output continuously. The 1072 also offers the triggered mode, gated mode, external burst mode, and internal burst mode, all of which can use an external trigger signal or an internal trigger. The use of external sources to prompt the switching of segments has already been mentioned.

Easy to use Large and user-friendly 3.8” back-lit color LCD display facilitates browsing though menus, updating parameters and displaying detailed and critical information for your waveform output. Combined with numeric keypad, cursor position control and a dial, the front panel controls simplifies the often complex operation of an arbitrary waveform generator.

High Speed Access Access speed is an increasingly important requirement for test systems. Included with the instrument is a variety of interfaces: Ethernet 10/100, USB 2.0 and GPIB so one may select the interface most compatible to individual requirements. Using any of the external interfaces, controlling instrument function and features as well as downloading waveforms and sequences are fast, time saving and easily tailored to every system regardless if it is just a laptop to instrument or full-featured ATE system. IVI drivers and factory support will speed up system integration thus minimizing time-to-market and reduce system development costs significantly.

Multiple Environments to Write Your Code Model 1072 comes with a complete set of drivers, allowing you to write your application in various environments such as: Labview, CVI, C++, VB, MATLAB. You may also link the supplied dll to other Windows based API’s or, use low level SCPI commands (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) to program the instrument, regardless if your application is written for Windows, Linux or Macintosh operating systems.

Precise Inter-Channel Phase Control In the 1072, both channels share a common sample clock, and both channels are triggered from the same source assuring tightly synchronized channel-to-channel timing. Precise control over channel-to-channel phase offset is achieved by allowing control over channel start phase with a resolution down to as small as 1 waveform point. This enables extremely accurate timing or phase dependencies to be studied, such as those found in high speed digital communication systems.

MODULAR Tabor`s MODULAR software package gives wireless design and manufacturing engineers access to the most flexible signal generation tool in the market - the Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG). The AWG answers virtually all their test stimulus needs at baseband or IF/RF levels, whether required signals are analog or digital. With none of the limitations of traditional generators, Tabor`s AWG allow any signal, simple or composed, clean or noisy, ideal or impaired, to be downloaded and played back.

ArbConnection ArbConnection is a graphical tool that provides an unlimited source of Arbitrary Waveforms. With the ArbConnection software you can control instruments functions, modes and features. You can also create a virtually infinite amount of test waveforms. Freehand sketch allows you to draw your own custom waveform for quick analysis of analog signals. You can use the built-in equation editor to create your own exotic functions. Add or subtract components of a Fourier series to characterize digital or analog filters or inject random noise into a signal to test immunity to auxiliary noise.

Multi-Instrument Synchronization Multiple 1072 can be synchronized using a Master-Slave arrangement allowing users to benefit from the same high quality performance in their multi-channels needs.
