Differentiating between Basic and Advanced Modes for AFG31000 Series Arbitrary Function Generators––APPLICATION NOTE

PublishTime：2022-04-25

●Arbitrary Function Generators (AFGs) are widely used by researchers, design engineers and test engineers to simulate their devices under test (DUTs). Today’s electronic designs are getting more and more complicated, which is leading users to demand that their AFGs offer a richer set of features, higher signal fidelity, greater flexibility and superior ease of use.
●AFG31000 Series Arbitrary Function Generators offer a choice of waveform generation modes—Basic and Advanced—to accommodate a range of use cases to ensure the best test results and user experience.
●Basic mode
■In Basic mode, an AFG31000 works much like a traditional AFG, based on the Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) technique. Although some might argue that DDS is an “out-of-date” technology with some weaknesses, it is still fundamental to almost all of the AFGs in the market today, and has a lot of advantages over the newer technologies.
●For DDS-based AFGs, the sample rate is fixed; when the user changes the output frequency, the number of samples in each cycle changes accordingly. The phase accumulator does this automatically by repeating or skipping points in the waveform memory.
