Flexible operation
Channel tracking function
Customize your generator’s channel output
configuration with frequency, amplitude, and
phase coupling. When enabled, CH1 and CH2
can automatically track according to the user’s set
frequency, amplitude, and phase deviation ratio
between channels.
Harmonics function
Generate harmonics up to the 10th order with
independent amplitude and phase settings.
Advanced square and pulse generator
For applications requiring high signal integrity and edge stability, the 4050B Series can produce low
jitter pulse waveforms (Fig 2) compared to conventional DDS generators (Fig 1). The instrument can
also generate pulses with minimum rise/fall times of 16.8 ns (Fig 3), minimum pulse width of 32 ns
(Fig 4) and maximum rise/fall times of 22.4 seconds.
Generate arbitrary waveforms with ease
The provided waveform editing software can be
used to create point-by-point arbitrary waveforms
via freehand or waveform math functions. A
standard USB interface on the rear panel allows
users to easily interface with a PC to load these
arbitrary waveforms into the instrument. The front
panel also offers a convenient USB host port for
connecting your USB flash drive to save/recall
instrument settings and waveforms.
The 4050B Series features a large, non-volatile
flash memory of about 100 MB, allowing users to
create, store, and recall >1000 user-defined
16k point arbitrary waveforms or output any of the
196 built-in predefined arbitrary waveforms.
Channel combine function
Create complex waveforms by internally adding
each channel’s waveform and outputting the
combined waveform on channel 1 or 2.
Channel copy and sync function
Save time with the 4050B Series’ two indepen-
dent channels to output synchronous signals.
With a push of a button, all waveform parameters
can be quickly copied between channels to set up
identical output signals. Phase between channels
can also be adjusted from the front panel.
Generate high performance square waves with < 3.4 ns rise/fall times (Fig 5) and rms jitter
< 300ps + 0.05 ppm of period (Fig 6)
