Overview
About AFG-4000 Series
The AFG-4000 Series delivers dual-channel arbitrary waveform generation at up to 200 MHz with 14-bit vertical resolution and 500 MSa/s sampling rate. Comprehensive modulation capabilities including AM, FM, PM, FSK, and PWM, plus sweep and burst modes, make it a versatile signal source for R&D and production test environments.
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Standard Waveforms | Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse, Noise, DC |
| Arbitrary Waveforms | User-defined with deep memory |
| Modulation Types | AM, FM, PM, FSK, PWM |
| Operating Modes | Continuous, Sweep, Burst |
| Frequency Range | Up to 200 MHz |
| DAC Resolution | 14-bit vertical |
| Sampling Rate | 500 MSa/s |
| Channels | Dual independent outputs |
Standard waveforms (sine, square, ramp, pulse, noise, DC) and arbitrary waveform editing with deep memory support a wide range of stimulus applications from audio testing through RF component characterization and digital protocol simulation. The dual-channel architecture allows generation of two independent or phase-locked signals simultaneously, which is essential for differential signal testing, I/Q baseband generation, and stimulus-response measurements.
Design engineers and test technicians use the AFG-4000 for sensor excitation, filter response verification, clock signal emulation, power supply transient simulation, and communication protocol testing. Its combination of high bandwidth, fine resolution, and comprehensive modulation makes it suitable for applications spanning automotive electronics, telecommunications, consumer devices, and industrial control systems.
GSAS Micro Systems offers the full AFG-4000 lineup with expert guidance on waveform configuration, test system integration, and ongoing calibration support.

GW Instek Insights
Emulating Processor Power for Thermal Testing: Why Constant Power
A heat sink or a cold plate is qualified against a watt figure, not a volt figure. This application note explains why a thermal load is driven in constant-power mode, how the bench is built for air and for liquid cooling, and what to confirm before you buy.
CRPS and Rack Power Supply Testing: The Six Tests That Matter
A CRPS module has to hold up under an unbalanced grid, a 0 to 100 percent load step, a surge on the line and a redundancy handover. This application note sets out the six tests, and the one source capability that makes a long feeder reproducible on the bench.
GPU Power Board Testing: DC Input Verification Before Integration
A GPU power delivery board is cheap to reject on a bench and expensive to find in an assembled server. This application note covers the programmable DC input test that screens the board, and the same test applied to incoming server systems.
