RIGOL DG4102 Waveform Generator

Key Specifications

• High – Frequency Output: With a maximum output frequency of 200MHz, the DG4000 series is capable of generating high – frequency signals, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from high – speed circuit testing to advanced communication research.
• Dual – Channel Configuration: Equipped with 2 channels, each with identical functions and adjustable phase between them. This allows for the generation of complex, synchronized signals, which is crucial for applications such as differential signal testing and multi – channel system calibration.
• 500Msa/s Sample Rate: The 500Msa/s sample rate ensures accurate sampling and reconstruction of waveforms, enabling the generation of high – quality signals with fine details.
• 14 – Bit Vertical Resolution: The 14 – bit vertical resolution provides a good level of precision in signal amplitude, allowing for the creation of signals with high fidelity.
• 16K Max Arb Memory: The 16K maximum arbitrary waveform memory enables the storage and generation of a variety of complex arbitrary waveforms, giving users the flexibility to create custom – tailored signals for specific testing scenarios.

User – Friendly Interface

• Wide Screen and Novel Appearance: The wide – screen display clearly shows the parameter setting values, waveform shapes, and output configurations of the channels. This makes it easy for users to quickly understand the current output state of the instrument at a glance, streamlining the operation process.

Versatile Waveform Generation

• Dual Channels with Equal Performance and Precise Phase Adjustment: Both channels offer the same high – performance capabilities, including the output of basic waves, arbitrary waves, modulation waves, scanning, and pulse series. Users can copy waveforms or states between channels, perform frequency/amplitude/phase coupling, and accurately adjust the phase difference between channels. This feature is particularly useful for applications that require precise signal synchronization.
• Built – in 150 Arbitrary Waveforms: The series comes with 150 built – in arbitrary waveforms, which are classified into different categories such as common, engineering, subsection modulation, bioelectricity, medical, standard, mathematics, trigonometric function, anti – trigonometric function, and window function. A special user key on the panel allows for quick access to specified arbitrary waves, saving time during setup.

Rich Modulation and Scanning Functions

• Rich Analog and Digital Modulation Functions: The DG4000 series supports a comprehensive range of modulation types, including AM, FM, PM, ASK, FSK, 3FSK, 4FSK, PSK, BPSK, QPSK, PWM, and OSK. It also supports internal and external modulation sources, making it an ideal choice for teaching communication principles and testing communication systems.
• Multiple Sweep Modes: It offers multiple sweep modes, including scanning from low frequency to high frequency or vice versa. The scanning types include linear, logarithmic, and step. Users can set a “mark” frequency, which is very useful for amplitude – frequency test applications.

Additional Functions

• Noise Generation and Burst Mode Function: The generator can produce white noise with a maximum bandwidth of 120MHz and has a noise superposition function, allowing for the addition of Gaussian noise to the main output signal. This is great for testing the anti – noise performance of equipment. The burst mode provides three types of pulse strings: N – cycle, infinite, and gating.
• Up to 16th Harmonic Output Function: The DG4000 series can output harmonics with specified frequency, amplitude, and phase. This feature is commonly used in the testing of harmonic detection and filter equipment.
• High – Resolution Frequency Meter Function: It provides a 7 – bit frequency meter measurement function that can measure parameters such as frequency, period, duty cycle, positive pulse width, and negative pulse width of external input signals. The frequency meter can work simultaneously with the dual – channel output and also supports the statistics of measurement results.
