Synchronizing Multiple Function Generators for Phase-Related Signals

应用文章

Function/arbitrary waveform generators are useful for creating standard or complex waveforms that allow you to test the performance of a design using a known good signal. When your application requires multiple signals, referencing the time bases in multiple function generators to each other or a master time base allows you to synchronize the signals to eliminate drift and maintain the phase relationships required for differential signals, bi-phase clocks, I/Q modulation, and other multi-channel applications. Using instruments such as the Keysight Technologies, Inc. 33210A, 33220A and 33250A function/ arbitrary waveform generators with an external time base reference allows you to synchronize the time bases in multiple function generators to produce phase-related signals.
