Pulse and Universal Generators True Pulse Generators The TGP3100 Series are true pulse generators using all digital techniques. They can replicate the capabilities of traditional pulse generators whilst adding many additional facilities such as pulse modulations. Unlike DDS based function generators the TGP3100 Series can generate pulses up to 50MHz with very low jitter and high resolution of width and delay (100ps). They can also operate in an asynchronously triggered mode with low jitter.
Features in detail Pulses at up to 50MHz The TGP3100 Series offers pulse repetition rates of up to 50MHz combined with precise control of pulse width, pulse delay and edge speeds. Pulse Generator Operation (1) Low Jitter Asynchronous Operation Unlike a function generator, the TGP3100 Series can generate pulses in response to an external trigger signal with minimal jitter. Exceptional Pulse Precision It achieves this using a compensation system that conventional generators can not replicate.
Features in detail Pulse Generator Operation (2) Double Pulse Operation Extensive Pulse Modulations Double pulse mode generates two identical pulses in each cycle with fully variable delay between the two. All other pulse mode capabilities are retained. In addition to pulse width modulation (PWM) the TGP3100 Series offers pulse delay modulation, amplitude modulation, amplitude summing with other waveforms, frequency and phase modulations, plus FSK frequency keying and BPSK phase shift keying.
Features in detail Noise & Function/Arbitrary Generator Operation High Performance Noise Generator Full Function/Arbitrary Generator The TGP3100 Series can act as high performance noise generators of variable bandwidth and amplitude distribution. Noise can be used as a main carrier waveform or as a modulation source for other waveforms. For example it can be used to generate edge jitter on pulse waveforms.
Features in detail Modulations, Sweep & Burst Digital Modulation, Internal & External Sweep and Burst As with pulse waveforms, all function and arbitrary waveforms can be digitally modulated. The internal modulation source can use any of the standard or arbitrary waveforms currently within the generator (including noise and PRBS) thus removing the need for an external modulation source. A modulating frequency between 1mHz and 10MHz can be specified.
Features in detail Two Channel Operation, Phase ������������� Locking Two Channel Operation Locking to Other Sources (TGP3122 & TGP3152 only) The generators are available in one channel or two channel versions, the latter incorporating two outputs with identical capabilities. On two channel generators, both channels provide the full performance and specification, along with entirely independent operation when required.
Features in detail File Storage, Remote Interfaces, Rack Mounting Filing System Comprehensive Remote Connectivity Patterns, Waveforms and Set-up files can be given user-defined names within the instrument. GPIB, USB and LAN interfaces are all fitted as standard. All functions of the generators can be controlled from the digital interfaces. Arbitrary waveform data and pulse patterns can also be loaded using these interfaces. An IVI driver for Windows is supplied.
Technical Specifications Note that specifications apply to 50MHz models (TGP3151 and TGP3152) and that specifications for 25MHz models (TGP3121 and TGP3122), where different, are in [square brackets] directly following the 50MHz specifications. For two channel models (TGP3122 and TGP3152) specification apply to each output.
