EXPERIMENTAL SETUP FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE OUTPUT SECTION OF ARBITRARY WAVEFORM GENERATOR
Abstract
An experimental setup is pointed for the characterization of the output section of Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG). It is based on test method pointed out for high resolution Digital to Analog Converter. The output signal of the AWG under test is reconstructed by the zero crossing time sequence detected into the resulting signal obtained by subtracting the sinusoidal signal fed by reference AWG. The characterization of the output section of the AWG is carried out by analyzing this signal in time and frequency domain. Proper procedure is pointed out to evaluate the transfer characteristic of the output section to overcome the difficulties arising from the functionality modality of the AWG.
