High Speed Arbitrary Wave Form Generator

Tender description

High-speed Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG). The system should be able to operate at a sample rate higher than 60 GSa/s and have an analog bandwidth higher than 20 GHz. The AWG system should also have a resolution of 8 bits or higher and a memory higher than 1 GSa. The ideal system will be employed for academic research and located within a photonic research laboratory. Lot 1: The Neuromorphic Photonics Lab at the Institute of Photonics (University of Strathclyde) is seeking to complement their research equipment with the acquisition of a high-speed Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) system. This is needed to produce the high-speed signals required for the characterisation of novel photonic devices and systems for use in novel light-enabled neuromorphic (brain-like) computing and artificial intelligence hardware, for example but not limited to. The system is primarily destined to be employed for academic research. It is purposed to increase the signal generation capability provided by existing Lab equipment. The system sought after is destined to provide the capability for high-speed arbitrary signal generation of at least 60 GSa/s or higher and an analog bandwidth higher than 20 GHz. The system should also provide a resolution of 8 bits or higher, a memory of 1 GSa/s or higher and be able to generate signals with 1 Vpp output amplitude. The ideal system would also permit the option to increase modularly the number of output channels and increase the memory provided.. The University is publishing this PIN for initial Market Research and Engagement purposes. The University may conduct further market engagement with the suppliers that note interest in this opportunity.
