The 52591/2, 2.3GS/s Single / Dual
Channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator,
is the world’s fastest PXIBased IQ/AWG
generator having, by far, the highest
benchedmarked bandwidth of 1GHz. It
offers unrivaled performance, even when
compared to instruments designed to
generate fewer types of signals or higher
sampling rates. Its unique 2-slot width,
saves valuable chassis space and cost
without compromising bandwidth and
signal integrity.
Signal Integrity and Purity
One of the most important requirement
in today’s testing and measurement
applications is high signal quality. With a
typical SSB phase noise of <-115dBc at
100MHz, and <-95dBc at 1GHz, at 10 kHz
carrier offset and with exceptionally good
SFDR of <-70dBc at 1GHz carrier, Tabor’s
52591/2 unique platform delivers one of the
best quality signals available on the market
today, answering the ever-growing demand
for clear and precise signals.

•t Advanced sequencer for step, loop, nest and jumps scenarios
•t
Smart trigger allows: trigger hold-off, detect <=> pulse width, as
well as wait-for-waveform-end or abort waveform and restart
•t Multiple sampling modes (NRZ,RZ,RF) for Bandwidth tt
t and SFDR optimization
•t
Two markers with programmable positions and width
•t Optional 12-bit fast segments/sequence dynamic jump control
•t Multi instrument synchronization to form multi-channel system
•t Occupies dual slot only

Universal Waveform Source
Aside from its natural ability to generate
arbitrary shapes with waveform granularity
of 1 point, the 52591/2 can also be used as
a full-featured standard, modulation or pulse
generator to solve various applications.
Equipped with 2.3GS/s 14-bit DAC and
8M points (16M/32M optional) memory,
the 52591/2 can generate literally any
waveform, short or long, at frequencies up
to 1GHz with 12 digits of resolution, resulting
in the highest precision signal creation and
regeneration without compromising signal
fidelity or system integrity.
Direct or DC Coupled Outputs
The 52591/2 offers two alternative DC
coupled, single or differential ended, output
paths. The standard output configuration is
a 1.2Vp-p into 50Ω with 1GHz bandwidth
for applications demanding optimized
transitions and aberrations, whereas the
optional 2Vp-p configuration offer 2Vpp into 50Ω with 700MHz bandwidth, for
applications demanding higher voltage.

Common Clocks
The 52592 has two fully synchronized
output channels. The advantage of having
two synchronized channels with less
than 5ps skew and skew control is very
significant in applications that require an
accurate and controlled phase between the
two channels, which is ideal for many X-Y
modes and I&Q output applications.
Powerful Segmentation and Sequencing
Solving almost every complex application,
powerful segmentation and sequencing
produces a nearly endless variety of complex
waveforms. The waveform memory can be
divided into multiple waveform segments
and sequenced in user-selectable fashion
to create complex waveforms that have
repeatable segments, jump and nest,
saving you precious memory space. The
52591/2 also allows you to generate up to
1000 sequence scenarios and sequence
between them to generate an even higher
level of flexibility in waveform creation.
