Digital Delay Generator

Pulse Generator as Digital Delay Generator

Typically a Digital Delay Generator is used in different type of Physics experiments to control distributed acquisition systems. Digital Delay Generators are characterized by several parameters including the resolution, the accuracy and the speed of edges (rise time). In particular the rise and fall time of edges impact the accuracy and the stability of the whole experiment. The transition time (edge) should be ideally zero and slow rise time could impact the capability of the trigger circuit to interact the the proper manner with the system as well explained in this article of University of Washington,

In order to avoid this problem the Pulse and Digital Delay Generators developed by Active Technologies are capable to deliver rise time faster than 70ps as shown in the following picture:

PG1000 00002

All Active Technologies Fast Rise Time Pulse Generators can also be used also as Digital Delay Generators.

4 Channel Waveform Generator

Active Technologies offers different models of 4 channel waveform generators into the AWG-2000 and AWG-4000 and AWG-5000 families.

4 channel waveform generator are used in different type of application, starting from automotive industries up to advance research. Additional information about how a 4 channel waveform generator works can be found here.

AWG-2000 is the entry level solution with 2 and 4 channel waveform generator models:

4 channel waveform generator

The output signal can reach a maximum amplitude of 12Vpp on 50 ohm and the instrument can be used also as fast pulse and delay generator.

In case the application needs a higher output frequency, the AWG-4000 family can be the solution offering 2 and 4 channel waveform generator as well as the higher performance model 8 channel waveform generator.

8 channel waveform generator

The output signal can reach a maximum amplitude of 24Vpp on high impedance and thanks to the hardware offset control, it is possible shift the output signal from 0 to 24V down to 0 to -24V, for a total output voltage window of 48V.

By this system it’s possible generate up to 32 fully synchronized pulses, with a maximum amplitude of 24V and a minimum width of 3 ns.

The powerful sequencer with advanced conditional jumps, allows the user to create complex  scenario and build test sequences for automated test benches.

If 300 MHz bandwidth 4 channel waveform generator is not enough, the AWG-5000 family can address the highest performance request offering a bandwidth up to 6 GHz

4 channel waveform generator

Also in this case, beside the 4 channel waveform generator we find  2 channel waveform generator and a 8 channel waveform generator as well. The unique feature of 5Vpp output with 110ps rise time makes the AWG-5000 series the most powerful pulse and delay generator on the market.

Active Technologies products are fully supported by a worldwide network of distributors.

Arbitrary Waveform Generators

The event has already passed. You can see recorded webinar on YouTube link below

High-Performance Arbitrary Waveform Generators: Basics & Beyond

On Wednesday, March 23rd 2022 at 10 am CET, Active Technologies is pleased to invite all customers to a live webinar that will introduce them into the world of High-Performance Arbitrary Waveform Generators.
Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG’s) are built to handle the most complex experiments and innovative applications, from advanced research, RF-Wireless to quantum computing.
Join Stefano Parma and Roberto Foddis with Active Technologies to discuss AWG’s and their role in the electrifying advancements in waveform development and signal generation.
The webinar will guide you to understand the main technologies and features related to the AWG’s and it will contain an immersive live demo session that will show the instrument generating the signals of real world applications.

The High-Performance Arbitrary Waveform Generator that will be demonstrated is the Active Technologies Arb Rider AWG-5000, the world’s fastest 16 bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator: 6.16 GS/s real time update rate (12.32 GS/s in RF mode), 16 bit vertical resolution and 5Vpp of  output range.
The industry-leading flexibility, speed, and power levels allow users the widest range of modulation and creator options. The Arb Rider AWG-5000 delivers this flexibility with premium signal integrity, an easy-to-use touch-screen display, and a host of new operational modes.
