September 2014 Introducing M9099 July 1, 2014

What if you had the ability to easily engineer your own real world waveforms?

Page

Situation • •

Custom signals are complex and difficult to create New AWG’s and VSG’s require tools to access their full capabilities

Page

Waveform Creator Value Proposition and Target Customers Provide general purpose signal creation, from basic function generator capability to complex I/Q modulation and real-world signal impairments that can be applied to a wide variety of markets and applications

Aero/Def R&D and Test

• Military & public service radio testing • MILCOM, SATCOM • Create proprietary modulated waveforms • Radar • EMI • GP Equipment Pool

Emerging Communications Academic Research Medical R&D and Test

•

DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modems R&D and Test

• Leverage SystemVue plugin for developing new emerging waveforms • University student Labs • Grant funded research projects • National Lab research • Ultrasound to mmWave • Test body sensors, pacemakers • 2FSK/BPSK modulation • Ultrasound receiver and transducer test Page

Introducing Waveform Creator M9099 –

History

- Developed in 2008 for Wi-Gig applications –

What is different from other signal tools?

- Waveform creation - Mixing multiple waveforms - Adding impairments - Source calibration/corrections - Multiple output devices - Create signal libraries - Access the full capability of modern AWG’s - SCPI commands for all functions

This is not just another software tool or waveform library!

How does it work? Page

Step 1: Select the Waveform type, adjust the parameters and drag them onto tracks Page

Step 2: Choose the output device and select your output parameters Page

Step 3: Preview the final waveform in time or frequency, then select “Generate and Output” Page
