AWG Concepts - How do AWGs compare to other signal generators?
Explore how Arbitrary Waveform Generators compare to function generators, signal generators, pulse generators, noise sources, and pattern generators.
About this course
Arbitrary waveform generators are unique in that they offer the flexibility to create any signal, from complex modulations to pre-distorted PRBS patterns to custom spectral noise. While they frequently have capabilities superior to any one dedicated signal generating instrument, AWGs typically lack the full capabilities of dedicated equipment. This course will explore how AWGs compare to other generators including: function generators, signal generators, pulse generators, pattern generators, and noise sources.
