Generate multi-carrier signals: The M8195A can generate multiple carrier signals simultaneously for testing and verification of multi-antenna systems and multi-carrier communication systems.


Simulating radar signals: Performing radar signal simulation is one of the main means to test and verify radar systems. In such applications, the M8195A can generate multiple analog signals, such as pulse signals, FM signals and phase-modulated signals, so as to perform testing and calibration of radar signal generators.


keysight M8195A functional features

  • High sampling rates up to 65 GSa/s

  • High channel density: 1, 2 or 4 channels per module, up to 16 channels on 4 modules can be synchronized using the M8197A multi-channel synchronization module

  • Built-in frequency and phase response calibration

  • Embedded DSP supports real-time waveform generation and derating (in conjunction with 81195A optical modulation generator software)

The Keysight M8195A Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) provides up to four output channels simultaneously on a single-slot AXIe module with sample rates up to 65 GSa/s, bandwidths up to 25 GHz, and 8-bit vertical resolution.


As devices and interfaces become faster and more complex, the rich functionality of the M8195A AWG gives you the power to generate the signals you need for applications such as digital applications, advanced research, broadband radar, satellite communications, and fiber optic communications.


The advanced 3-stage sequence generation capability enables longer signal scenarios. An external dynamic control option is also available when the M8197A module needs to synchronize multiple M8195A modules.


The M8195A Arbitrary Waveform Generator provides trigger inputs for ±20 ps time delay accuracy when used in conjunction with the M8197A multi-channel synchronization module.


When combined with the N5990A software options 151 and 153, the M8195A provides an HDMI and MHL receiver test solution.


The M8195A Arbitrary Waveform Generator can also be controlled by the M8070A Bit Error Rate Test System software with the M8085A software plug-in to generate test signals compliant with the MIPI C-PHY™ and D-PHY™ standards.


The M8195A Arbitrary Waveform Generator, combined with the 81195A Optical Modulation Generator software, provides an innovative approach to real-time signal generation that can speed up your testing by a factor of 100.


It generates signals and derates in real time. Using FIR filters and other DSP functions, you can perform pulse shaping and change optical stress test conditions such as polarization mode dispersion (PMD) or phase noise. Use real-time modes, sequence generation capabilities, and deep memory to push past limitations and explore new test areas. Explore new opportunities.
