Keysight introduces the latest Arbitrary Waveform Generator for 160 GBd Designs Development

Stand 101

13th September 2022


The M8199B is an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) that provides R&D engineers with a high-performance signal source for arbitrary signals, enabling the development of 160 GBd and above designs. With nominal analog bandwidth exceeding 80 GHz, it enables up to 8 synchronized channels at 256 GSa/s. Built-in frequency and phase response calibration for clean output signals, Keysight’s new AWG is integrated and ready to use out-of-the-box.

The M8199B offers you the speed, bandwidth, precision, and flexibility to meet the challenges of next-generation applications, including 400+ Gb/s per lane in intensity-modulation/direct-detect (IM/DD) and 1.6+ Tb/s per carrier in coherent optical communications.
