The TGF3000 series is the latest function/arbitrary generator series from Aim-TTi offering class-leading performance and unrivalled value for money. A frequency capability of up to 160MHz is combined with two identical full performance channels that can operate as independent generators or in coupled or tracking modes. Precise channel to channel phase control with a resolution of 0.001o is provided.
A wide range of built-in waveforms is included and custom arbitrary waveforms can be used at sample speeds up to 800MS/s and replay rates up to 80MHz. PC based arbitrary waveform generation and editing software is provided.
High resolution, low jitter pulses can be generated as can wide bandwidth white noise.
A extensive array of modulations is provided using internal and external sources. Gated, burst and sweep modes can use internal or external trigger sources.
Remote control via USB and LXI compliant LAN (standard) can be supplemented by optional GPIB if required.

TGF3000 Series – Functions and Waveforms
HIGHER FREQUENCIES
The TGF3000 Series out-performs other generators in its price range by offering sine waves up to 160MHz and square waves up to 50MHz.
Exceptional frequency precision
The frequency of these waveforms can be set with up to 15 digitsor one micro hertz of resolution. The DDS based frequency generation system uses a high stabilityTCXO timebase oscillator.
Waveform quality
The TGF3000 Series generates high purity sine waves with low harmonic distortion and low phase noise. Audio band THD is significantly better than similar generators at just 0.05%.
Built-in Waveforms
A large number of standard and pre-built arbitrary waveforms are built into the generator. These include triangles, ramps, sinc, logarithmics, exponentials, gaussians and cardiac (among others).
High sampling rate allows higher repetition rates than other generators.
