Provision of a High Speed Arbitrary Waveform Generator

The University of Southampton has a requirement to procure a 4-channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG), capable of generating digital or analogue signals in a programmable fashion at a high speed. Its primary application will be the generation of a variety of advanced modulation formats for optical communication systems.
