Arbitrary Waveform Generator

Zurich Instruments, Zurich, Switzerland, introduced real-time precompensation technology for its HD arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). By inverse filtering, precompensation minimizes effects of imperfections in the wiring and ensures that the signal applied to the device under test equals the signal designed on the AWG. Multiple filter types are available to correct for AC coupling, spurious inductances and capacitances, impedance mismatches, and amplifier ringing.
