Introduction

The U2761A is a 20 MHz USB modular function generator with Arbitrary waveform and pulse generation capabilities. It can operate as a standalone or modular unit when used with the U2781A USB modular instrument chassis.

The U2761A adopts the latest direct digital synthesis (DDS) technology that digitally creates Arbitrary waveforms and frequencies from a single, fixed source frequency. DDS offers the precision of digitally control logic; reducing the complexity of the generator while increasing the stability. Thus, creating a stable, accurate output signal for clean, low distortion sine waves with fast rise and fall time up to

20 MHz and linear Ramp waves up to 200 kHz.

Various features of the U2761A

•20 MHz Sine and Square waveforms

•Hi-Speed 2.0, USBTMC 488.2 standards

•Sine, Square, Ramp, Triangle, Pulse, and DC waveforms

•14-bit, 50 MSa/s, 64 K-point Arbitrary waveforms

•AM, FM, PM, ASK, FSK, and PSK modulation types

•40 mVpp to 5 Vpp amplitude range for 50 Ω load, and 80 mVpp to 10 Vpp amplitude range for open circuit

•Pulse generation
