Data Sheet Arbitrary/Function Waveform Generators 4075B Series Point-by-Point Signal Integrity The 4075B Series Arbitrary/Function Waveform Generators are versatile high-performance single- and dual-channel arbitrary waveform generators with large arbitrary memory depth. The instruments provide variable output voltages from 0 to 10 Vp-p into 50 ohms or up to 20 Vp-p into open circuit and a continuously variable DC offset that allows the output to be injected directly into circuits at the correct bias level. These generators combine the benefits of DDS (direct digital synthesis) and true AWG (arbitrary waveform generator) architectures without the limitations of either. Standard waveforms such as sine, square, and triangle are generated with a DDS chip, delivering great frequency resolution at a low cost. Custom arbitrary waveform generation is implemented with a true point-by-point design, offering improved signal integrity by producing significantly less jitter and distortion compared to a DDS-only architecture. This point-by-point generation capability allows these instruments to be used for simulating reliable clock signals, generating triggers, or validating serial data buses. Features 14-bit, 200 MSa/s, 16 Mpts arbitrary waveform generator Generate sine waveforms up to 80 MHz Additionally, these generators can be used with B&K Precision's waveform editing software WaveXpress to create complex arbitrary waveforms. Bright color LCD display Linear and logarithmic sweep AM/FM/FSK modulation Variable DC offset Extensive features such as internal or external AM, FM, and FSK modulation along with versatile sweep capabilities and variable edge pulse generation make these generators suitable for a wide range of applications. Adjustable duty cycle Output ON/OFF button Internal/external triggering Gate and burst mode Fully programmable markers Store/recall up to 49 instrument settings Standard USBTMC interface (all models) and Applications These generators are suitable for applications such as electronic design, sensor simulation, functional test, or generation of I/Q modulated signals.

The generator can be connected with another generator or to an external 10 MHz clock for precise phase adjustment. The Sync output connector can be used to generate a positive TTL pulse output on each waveform cycle. An external trigger input connector is also available to trigger the instrument via an external TTL signal. 2 www.bkprecision.com Arbitrary Waveform Generators 4075B Series Versatile arbitrary waveform generation Flexible memory management The 4075B Series gives users more freedom by allowing the flash memory to be allocated via start address and length parameter setups. For instance, a model 4080B user could generate one large 16M-point waveform or up to 49 different waveform setups totaling 16 Mpts in one memory bank. Up to eight non-volatile memory banks are available to store arbitrary waveforms with 14-bit vertical resolution. Waveform creation tools Programmable markers WaveXpress software From the front panel, waveforms can be defined from scratch by entering data point-by-point or by loading and modifying predefined waveforms. The WaveXpress waveform editing software is also provided for users to easily generate, edit, and upload custom arbitrary waveforms to the generator via the remote interface. Create waveforms in the software by importing a text file or define via freehand, point draw, and waveform math functions. Master unit 1 unit 2 unit n Ref Out to Ref In Easy noise generation Conveniently add noise to your waveform directly from the front panel and precisely adjust the scale of the noise amplitude. This feature allows you to choose between generating a noise waveform and adding noise to an existing waveform. 3 Marker Out to Trig In Multi-unit/channel synchronization The 4075B Series provides fully programmable markers that allow you to generate a positive TTL level output signal at the points specified by address and length up to 4000 points. It could be used for applications requiring triggering at specific points in the arbitrary waveform for precise synchronization between two signals, e.g. simulation of a real world 3-phase AC network where one of the phases is degraded. www.bkprecision.com Arbitrary Waveform Generators 4075B Series Specifications Model 4075B 4078B 4076B 4079B 4077B 4080B Channels 1 2 1 2 1 2 Maximum frequency 30 MHz 50 MHz 80 MHz Waveforms Standard Sine, Square, Triangle/Ramp, Pulse Built-in arbitrary Sine, Triangle, Square, Noise, Ramp Up, Ramp Down, Sine(X)/X, Exponential Up, Exponential Down, Gaussian User-defined arbitrary 1 Mpts x 8 memory banks per ch 4 Mpts x 8 memory banks per ch 16 Mpts x 8 memory banks per ch Operating Modes & Modulation Types Operating modes Continuous, Triggered, Burst, Gated Modulation types AM, FM, FSK Sine Frequency range 1 Hz to 30 MHz 1 Hz to 50 MHz 1 Hz to 80 MHz 1 Hz, up to 12 digits Resolution Amplitude flatness (relative to 1 kHz) fOUT 1 MHz 0.2 dB fOUT 50 MHz 1.0 dB fOUT 80 MHz 2.0 dB Harmonic distortion (typical) fOUT 100 kHz (10 Hz -100 kHz) -65 dBc fOUT 5 MHz (100 kHz - 5 MHz) -45 dBc fOUT 80 MHz (5 MHz - 80 MHz) -35 dBc Spurious fOUT 1 MHz (DC - 1 MHz) -60 dBc fOUT < 20 MHz (1 MHz - 20 MHz) -50 dBc Phase noise (fOUT =10 MHz) 10 kHz offset -110 dBc/Hz Square Frequency range (Square) Rise & Fall time Duty Cycle Asymmetry (50% duty cycle) 1 Hz to 30 MHz 1 Hz to 50 MHz 1 Hz to 60 MHz < 5 ns (10% to 90%) at full amplitude into 50 20% to 80% to 10 MHz, 40% to 60% to 30 MHz, 50% > 30 MHz 1% of period 5 ns Aberrations < 5% + 50 mV Jitter < 70 ps rms (typical) Ramp & Triangle Frequency range 1 Hz to 5 MHz Resolution 1 Hz, up to 12 digits Symmetry 1 uHz to 500 kHz: 0%-100%, 500 kHz to 2 MHz: 10%-90%, 50% > 2 MHz Linearity <0.1% of peak output (1 Hz to 250 kHz) Frequency range 1 mHz to 25 MHz Pulse 4 Resolution 1 Hz Pulse width 20 ns minimum, 10 ns resolution, 999 s max Variable edge time <5 ns (Fast setting) to pulse period (1) Jitter < 50 ps rms (typical) www.bkprecision.com Arbitrary Waveform Generators 4075B Series Specifications (cont.)
