Rohde & Schwarz AFQ100A I/Q Modulation Generator

Overview

The Rohde & Schwarz AFQ100A is a versatile I/Q modulation baseband generator featuring a maximum clock rate of 300 MHz and waveform memory of up to 1 Gsample. The instrument offers unprecedented flexibility for long sequences in bit error ratio measurements while supporting high bandwidth for future broadband communications systems. An integrated equalizer linearizes frequency response in real-time, compensating for nonlinear effects produced by modules such as I/Q modulators.
