The Keysight M8195A arbitrary waveform generator supports sample rates up to 65 GSa/s on up to 4 channels. The sample rate can also be set to 26.88 GSa/s to 32.50 GSa/s with sample rate divider of 2, or 13.44 GSa/s to 16.25 GSa/s with sample rate divider of 4, providing flexibility for various applications.
The M8195A offers 2 GSa per module as standard, which can be upgraded to 16 GSa per module with Option 16G. Internal sample memory provides 1 MSa per module for faster operation. The memory allocation depends on the operating mode, with single channel mode providing maximum memory per channel and multi-channel modes distributing memory across the active channels.
The M8195A provides an analog bandwidth of 25 GHz (3 dB, excluding sin(x)/x roll-off) with a typical rise/fall time of 18 ps (20% to 80%). When digital pre-distortion is applied, the rise/fall time can be improved to 12 ps typical, enabling the generation of extremely wideband signals for applications including coherent optical, wideband RF/microwave, and multi-level digital signaling.
Yes, multiple M8195A modules can be synchronized using the M8197A synchronization module, which supports up to four M8195A modules to create a fully synchronous system with up to 16 channels per AXIe 5-slot chassis. The M8197A provides improved trigger-to-output delay accuracy and includes a dynamic control input/general purpose output for advanced sequencing control across all synchronized channels.
The M8195A exhibits ultra-low intrinsic jitter with random jitter (RJ rms) less than 200 fs typical when measured at 10 GHz clock, 1 V amplitude, and 60 GSa/s. At 32 Gb/s PRBS with pre-distortion, total jitter is 6 ps peak-to-peak nominal. This exceptional jitter performance makes the M8195A ideal for high-speed digital applications where timing accuracy is critical.
The M8195A is designed for coherent optical applications supporting transmission systems up to 1 Tb/s with symbol rates to 32 GBaud and beyond, multi-level/multi-channel digital signals including NRZ, PAM4, PAM8, and DMT up to 32 Gbaud, physics/chemistry/electronics research requiring mathematically defined arbitrary waveforms and ultra-short pulses, and wideband RF/microwave applications requiring instantaneous bandwidth from DC to 25 GHz for aerospace, defense, and communications testing.
Yes, the M8195A includes built-in frequency and phase response calibration for clean output signals and up to 64-tap FIR filter in hardware for frequency response compensation. Digital pre-distortion techniques can compensate for distortions from cables, amplifiers, and other external circuits by embedding or de-embedding S-parameters. These corrections ensure signal integrity at the device under test.
The M8195A with Option SEQ provides advanced 3-level sequencing with external dynamic control. In sequence mode, one or more waveform segments can be arranged in a linear sequence with each segment repeated a programmable number of times or until an external event is signaled. In scenario mode, one or more sequences are arranged in a linear sequence with programmable repetition, enabling complex test scenarios for advanced applications.
