Press Release Summary:
Suited for RADAR and I and Q signal generation, Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) Cards are supplied with 64 MS of signal memory standard. Model UF2-6110 has 2 synchronous 125 MS/s output channels, while Model UF2-6111 offers 4 channels on single PCI card. Each channel contains 8-bit DAC and 3 Butterworth reconstruction filters with bandwidths of 25 MHz, 5 MHz, or 500 kHz. Cards employ 66 MHz/32-bit PCI-X interface that can stream data continuously from host PC at rates up to 225 MS/s.
Original Press Release:
Strategic Test Introduces World's First AWG PCI Cards with 4 GigaSamples Memory
Outputs 4 channels synchronously at 125 MS/s for 32 seconds
Woburn, MA USA - October 5, 2006. Strategic Test Corp. has released two new 8-bit resolution Arbitrary Waveform Generator cards with up to 4 GigaSamples onboard memory. The UF2-6110 has two synchronous 125 MS/s output channels, while the UF2-6111 offers four channels on a single PCI card. Both cards are supplied with 64 MegaSamples of signal memory standard, but can be increased to 4 GigaSamples using a proprietary DIMM module on the card.
The cards are well suited for RADAR and I&Q signal generation. The Multiple Reply option allows a series of high speed waveforms to be generated with automatic re-arming of the trigger by hardware to ensure a high Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF). The choice of 2 or 4 synchronous channels per card enables matching I&Q generation without requiring the expense of a second card.
Each channel contains a 125 MS/s 8-bit DAC and three Butterworth reconstruction filters with bandwidths of 25 MHz, 5 MHz or 500 kHz. A 'no-filter' setting can also be selected. Measured dynamic specifications include: SNR > 60.9 db, THD < 69.1 dB and SFDR > 71.9 dB. The crosstalk between channels is < - 80 dB. The maximum output range is +/-3V, although this can be boosted to +/-10 V using the optional 1, 2 or 4 channel PCI amplifier card.
The cards employ a 66 MHz / 32 bit PCI-X interface that can stream data continuously from the host-PC at rates up to 225 MSamples/s. Long duration signals can be generated at lower output rates. The PCI-X connector is also compatible with the traditional 33 MHz / 32 bit slots, however the data transfer rate is reduced to approximately 100 MSamples/s.
Drivers for Microsoft Windows XP64, XP, 2000 and Linux (2.4 and 2.6 kernels) are included with free downloads of future OS version drivers such as Windows Vista. Drivers for MATLAB, LabVIEW, VEE, DASYLab and LabWindows/CVI are available as options.
The Ultrafast UF2-6100 cards are available immediately and have the following pricing: 2 channels (UF2-6110 3210 Euro) and 4 channels (UF2-6111 4800 Euro). Volume discounts and OEM customization prices are available on request.
