In this episode Shahriar takes a close look at the newly released Siglent SDG6000X Series Pulse / Arbitrary Waveform Generator. SDG6000X is a series of dual-channel Pulse/ Arbitrary Waveform Generators that feature up to 500MHz output frequency, a maximum sample rate of 2.4GSa/s and 16-bit vertical resolution when used as a function generator. The particular reviewed model is the SDG6052X which is the top-end model.

The full teardown of the unit reveals the internal architecture of the instrument, DAC / FPGA interconnect as well as the output amplifier structure. Although the limitations of the FPGA prevents the instrument to operate at full 2.5GSa/s in arb-mode, the instrument is capable of providing complex modulation up to the full 500MHz signal bandwidth.

This comprehensive review is organized as follows:

00:01:11 - Siglent SDG model overview and comparison
00:03:10 - Front and back panel overview
00:06:24 - Full teardown and analysis of the instrument archietecture
00:18:19 - GUI overview, menu structures and built-in functions
00:22:31 - Waveform phase and amplitude accuracy, characterizing a 180-degree hybrid
00:30:42 - Large-signal generation, ultra-sound experiment and range measurements
00:36:38 - Pulse generation performance, spectral content and low-pass filter measurements
00:44:07 - THD measurements, harmonic generation, Two-tone TOI measurements using waveform combine function
00:50:30 - PRBS pattern generator, ISI measurements and eye-diagram impairments using waveform combine functions
01:01:57 - I/Q modulation and waveform creation using EasyIQ as well as superheterodyne up-converter measurements
01:10:44 - Concluding remarks
