4078C Series Arbitrary/Function Waveform Generators

4078C Series Arbitrary/Function Waveform Generators

The 4078C Series Arbitrary/Function Waveform Generators are high-performance, dual-channel instruments designed to generate precise and versatile waveforms. Available in 30 MHz (4078C) and 50 MHz (4079C) models, these generators offer variable output voltages from 0 to 10 Vp-p into 50 ohms, or up to 20 Vp-p into an open circuit. They are ideal for a wide range of applications requiring high-fidelity waveforms, thanks to their 250 MSa/s sampling rate and 16-bit amplitude resolution.

The 4078C series includes features such as AM, FM, PM, BPSK, and FSK modulation, as well as frequency sweep capabilities. Users can easily generate custom waveforms up to 4 million points using the built-in editor. With dual channels and dedicated output control for each, these generators provide maximum flexibility for testing and signal generation.
