AWG70000A Series and AWGSYNC01 Technical Reference
Description
For a CW signal at specified frequencies in each path.
Each path is calibrated at a single frequency (see Amplitude Accuracy). For signals at different
frequencies, the range is shifted and the actual output power will be offset from the requested
power. The specifications for the no filter path at 13 GHz and the band pass path at 18 GHz
reflect the capability at those frequencies, not the accuracy.

The AWG does not include a leveling loop. Signal amplitude accuracy is only specified for a
CW signal at the calibration frequency. Signals at different frequencies can have a different
amplitude. Modulated or multi-tone signals often have significantly lower amplitude.
Calibration is done with a small signal to keep the amplifier in a linear range. When playing
out full amplitude signals at high levels the amplifiers can be driven into compression and the
output amplitude will not match the requested level and the signal can be distorted.
