I/Q Modulation Generator AMIQ and Simulation Software WinIQSIM open up new
dimensions for the generation of I/Q signals. AMIQ is a dual-channel modulation
generator that has consequently been designed for use as an I/Q source. It is
programmed and set with Software WinIQSIM. Alternatively, AMIQ can be operated
from an SMIQ Vector Signal Generator.
Each channel can store 4,000,000 samples. Even at high symbol rates, sequences
of sufficient length can thus be generated. With clock frequencies of up to
100 Msample/s and a high amplitude resolution of 14 bits, AMIQ is the ideal
source for any signal in the world of digital modulation.
An automatic amplitude/offset alignment, as well as fine adjustment of the
skew, provide excellent symmetry of the two channels which previously was extremely
difficult to attain with the dual-channel ARB generators. The error vector can
thus be minimized.
A typical application of AMIQ and WinIQSIM is not only to drive the I/Q inputs
of a vector signal generator. This combination is also ideal for direct applications
in the baseband, e.g. for testing I/Q modulators/demodulators.
