Theory of Operation for Ultra High Speed
AWG
This section describes the theory of operation for the ultra
high speed AWG. The following is the block diagram of the
ultra high speed AWG.
Figure 85 Ultra High Speed AWG Block Diagram
The ultra high speed AWG consists of the following blocks.
• Front-end Module in the testhead
• AWG instrument in the analog support rack
The following sections describe the functions of each
block.
Front-end Module
The front-end module is installed in the testhead. One
front-end module supports up to two AWG instruments
installed in the analog support rack. However, in the stan-
dard configuration, one front-end module supports only
