The Tektronix AWG7062B is a 2-channel arbitrary waveform generator delivering 6 GSa/s sampling rate for precise signal creation in aerospace, defense, communications, and semiconductor test environments. It generates complex custom waveforms with up to 10-bit vertical resolution, 32 M points of standard record length, and effective RF output to 9.6 GHz. The instrument supports multi-level signals, jitter injection, spread spectrum clocking, pre/de-emphasis, and direct synthesis—enabling comprehensive characterization of high-speed digital and RF circuits.
