Model WW2571/2A, is a single/dual channel
frequency agile waveform synthesizer that
combines industry leading performance,
frequency agility and modulation capability
in a stand-alone, bench-type product.
Having 1.5Hz to 250MHz clock and 16-bit
vertical DAC resolution provides the test
stimuli required for the decades to come.
It can be used as an arbitrary waveform
generator, modulating generator, as well as
function and pulse generator.

High Speed Function Generator
Interested in standard functions? There are
10 built-in functions that cover most routine
requirements. These are sine, triangle,
square, pulse, ramp, sinx/x, Gaussian,
exponential, noise, as well as DC. Sine
and square waves can be generated from
frequencies as low as 100μHz to frequencies
as high as 100MHz. All functions and their
respective parameters are accessible via
the front panel.

250MS/s Performance
Higher performance test equipment and
systems are needed as products which
use increasing signal bandwidths are
developed. The sample rate generator can
be programmed from frequencies as low as
1.5Hz to 250MHz with superior waveform
quality and purity. For example, phase
noise is typically below 120dB/Hz at 10kHz
offset for a 10MHz sine wave.

Waveform Memory
Longer waveform memory minimizes test
duration by allowing multiple waveforms to
be loaded simultaneously and retrieved as
needed for the specic test. Each channel
comes with 1M points of memory as standard.
Optional 2M or 4M memory is available for
applications requiring longer memory.
Digital Outputs
16-bits are available as digital patterns from
a rear-panel VHDC connector. Output level
is LVDS which is efcient and sufcient
for high speed digital data transmissions.
Digital patterns are built the same way as

arbitrary waveforms; thus the immense
power of the waveform generator with all its
functions and features is harnessed behind
this output turning the WW2571/2A into
the most powerful pattern generator in its
class.
Frequency Agility
Decrypting radio transmission often
employs frequency hopping. The WW2571/
2A provides breakthrough technology that
allows simulation of 12-bit decrypted code
as easy as writing a simple hop table. The
frequency hop mode is fast, coherent and
provides a great tool for simulating code
transmission without losing speed and
integrity.
Accurate Output
As standard, the instrument is equipped
with an internal frequency reference that
has 1ppm accuracy and stability over a
period of 1 year. An external frequency
reference is provided on the rear panel for
applications requiring greater accuracy or
stability, supported by the instrument’s up
to 14 digits resolution from remote.
