Model 5251/5351, is a single-channel
frequency agile waveform synthesizer that
combines industry leading performance,
frequency agility and modulation capability
in a stand-alone, modular 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.
A Cost Effective Format
The 5251/5351 is a sensible alternative
to a GPIB-based waveform generator
when developing a PXI or PCI based
test system. The 5251/5351 provides
a synergistic combination of a function
generator, arbitrary waveform synthesizer,
programmable sequencer, pulse generator,
and modulation generator in one instrument.
The 5251/5351 delivers all this at a lower
cost than comparable bench-type, or VXIbased instruments. This versatility ensures
that the Model 5251/5351 will adapt to future
testing needs as well as current ones.
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. The 5251/5351
comes with 2M points of memory as
standard for applications requiring longer
memory.
Memory Segmentation and Sequencing
Solving almost every complex application,
powerful segmentation and sequencing
produce an 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 and thus saving
precious memory space. Five different
advance modes are available for the
5251/5351 series to step through the
sequence table, including stepped and
mixed advance modes and thus increasing
efciency of the test system. To solve even
the toughest application, the products allow
generation of up to 10 different sequences,
each capable of linking 10k waveform
fragments and looping each waveform up
to 1M times.
Frequency Agility
Decrypting radio transmission often employs
frequency hopping. Model 5251/5351
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.
