General Information
The AWG TRX modules generate arbitrary CW waveforms with sampling rates up to:
- 4 GSPS for the AWG474
The AWG TRX can be controlled by a PC or can work alone with pre-stored waveforms. The sole RF input is the single-ended clock source CK, which can be operated above 2.0 GHz with minimum power of 6 dBm. The RF outputs of the module consist of a pair of differential analog outputs, P and N, which have 50-ohm back termination. The module accepts a high-speed trigger TRIG and generates a programmable synchronization output SYNC0 and two marker signals MARKER1/2.
Note: Some modules may label SMA connectors differently (i.e. OUTP = P = OP; CKIP = CK; etc...).
