Keysight Technologies M8199B

The M8199B arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) provides R&D engineers with a high-performance arbitrary signal source, enabling design development at 160 GBaud and above. The M8199B AWG enables up to 8 synchronized channels at 256 GSa/s with nominal analog bandwidth exceeding 80 GHz. With integrated frequency and phase response calibration for clean output signals, the M8199B simplifies your test setup.

The M8199B AWG provides you with the speed, bandwidth, precision, and flexibility necessary to meet next-generation technology challenges:

• Offers 1 MSa of waveform memory per channel
• Synchronizes up to 8 channels across 4 modules
• Provides data transmission greater than 400 Gb/s per lane in intensity-modulation/direct-detect (IM/DD)
• Delivers greater than 1.6 Tb/s per carrier in coherent optical communications
• Produces clean output signal leveraging built-in frequency and phase response calibration 
• Integrated, ready-to-use instrument, works with M8008A clock module 
• Operates with well-known software, including MATLAB, Keysight IQtools, and SCPI programming interfaced based on M8070B 

The Keysight M8199B arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) has the highest sample rate and the widest bandwidth in its class with up to eight synchronized channels operating simultaneously.
