General Characteristics
_ | _ | _ | _ |
I and Q out | I and Q are used in conjunction with I and Q to | ||
|
| provide a balanced baseband stimulus. Balanced signals | |
|
| are signals present in two separate conductors that are | |
|
| symmetrical about the common mode offset, and are | |
|
| opposite in polarity [180 degrees out of phase]. | |
|
| These female BNC connectors are provided only on | |
|
| signal generators with Option 601 or 602. If you configure | |
|
| your signal generator with Option 1EM, these inputs are | |
|
| relocated to rear panel SMB connectors. | |
LF output | Outputs the | ||
|
| 2.5 Vpeak into 50 ohms, or 0 to 5 Vpeak into high | |
|
| impedance. [BNC, front panel] | |
Pattern trigger input | Accepts CMOS1 signal to trigger internal pattern or frame | ||
|
| generator to start single pattern output. Minimum pulse | |
|
| width 100 ns. The damage levels are | |
|
| [BNC, rear panel] | |
Q input | Accepts a Q input for I/Q modulation. Nominal input | ||
|
| impedance 50 or 600 ohms, damage levels are 1 Vrms | |
|
| and 10 Vpeak. [BNC, front panel] | |
RF output | Nominal output impedance 50 ohms. | ||
|
| ||
Sweep output | Generates output voltage, 0 to +10 V when signal | ||
|
| generator is sweeping. Output impedance < 1 ohm, can | |
|
| drive 2000 ohms. [BNC, rear panel] | |
Symbol sync input | The CMOS1 compatible symbol sync connector accepts | ||
|
| an externally supplied symbol sync for digital modulation | |
|
| applications. The expected input is a symbol clock signal. | |
|
| It may be used in two modes. When used as a symbol | |
|
| sync in conjunction with a data clock, the signal must be | |
|
| high during the first data bit of the symbol. The signal | |
|
| must be valid during the falling edge of the data clock | |
|
| signal and may be a single pulse or continuous. When | |
|
| the symbol sync itself is used as the [symbol] clock, the | |
|
| falling edge is used to clock the data signal. | |
|
| The maximum clock rate is 50 MHz. The damage levels | |
|
| are | |
|
| This female BNC connector is provided on signal | |
|
| generators with Option 601 or 602. On signal generators | |
|
| with Option 1EM, this input is relocated to a rear panel | |
|
| SMB connector. | |
Symbol sync output | Outputs CMOS1 symbol clock for symbol synchronization, | ||
|
| one data clock period wide. [Auxiliary I/O connector, | |
|
| rear panel] | |
Trigger input | Accepts CMOS 1 signal for triggering | ||
|
| manual sweep mode, or to trigger start of LF sweep. | |
|
| the damage levels are | |
Trigger output | Outputs a TTL signal: high at start of dwell, or when | ||
|
| waiting for point trigger in manual sweep mode; low | |
|
| when dwell is over or point trigger is received, high or | |
|
| low 2 µs pulse at start of LF sweep. [BNC, rear panel] |
1. Rear panel inputs and outputs are 3.3 V CMOS, unless indicated otherwise. CMOS inputs will accept 5 V CMOS, 3 V CMOS, or TTL voltage levels.
