The Teledyne LeCroy T3AFG350 is a dual-channel Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator delivering 350 MHz bandwidth with high-fidelity, low-jitter signal generation. Built on proprietary Arbitrary & Pulse techniques, it overcomes traditional DDS limitations when generating arbitrary, square, and pulse waveforms. The instrument combines 20 Mpts memory per channel, 2.4 GS/s sample rate, and 16-bit vertical resolution to support complex electronics testing and design applications requiring versatile, precision signal generation.
