Mountain View, CA. Following up on an earlier announcement of its ADP7000 Series AXIe modular digitizers, Guzik Technical Enterprises today announced that the ADP7000 is the first third-party product to deploy Keysight’s proprietary 10-bit ADC technology, currently only available within the Keysight Infiniium S-Series Oscilloscopes. The ADP7000 products can directly sample RF signals from DC up to 10 GHz on multiple channels simultaneously. All signal processing is performed in the digital domain with no analog conversions.
“We are really excited to work with Keysight to bring this level of breakthrough measurement solution capability to the marketplace,” said Lauri Viitas, vice president of product and business development at Guzik. “By combining Guzik’s architectural and processing expertise with Keysight’s unique converter technology, we have been able to deliver a paradigm shift for high-performance measurement environments.”
“Keysight is focused on delivering world-class measurement solutions to solve the most challenging problems faced by our customers,” said Jay Alexander, Keysight chief technology officer. “Collaborating with innovative partners, like Guzik, we are able to rapidly expand our portfolio of solutions in areas with critical measurement needs, such as 5G and other advanced communication applications.”
The Guzik ADP7000 interleaved ADC amplitude and phase correction and equalization firmware runs on the FPGA-based signal processor. Guzik is supporting the recently announced Optical Data Interface (ODI) standard to expand the ADP7000 stream processing architecture to one or more coprocessors, such as the Guzik DP7000.
Advanced digital processing options include Real-Time DDC (digital-down-conversion) with equalization. The digitizers can also be used with analog downconverters to expand their capability to wide band millimeter-wave frequencies. The Guzik ADP7104 offers direct RF sampling to 10 GHz in 2-channel mode and 6.5 GHz in 4-channel mode. The Guzik ADP7084 offers direct RF sampling to 8 GHz in 2-channel mode and 4 GHz in 4-channel mode.
Guzik digitizers are built on the AXIe platform, which allows them to tightly integrate with other Keysight products, such as the Keysight M8195A multi-channel 65-GS/s arbitrary waveform generator.
The new Guzik ADP7000 series of digitizers also integrate with leading waveform-analysis software products from Keysight, including the 89600 vector signal analyzer software, the 81199A wideband waveform analyzer studio, the N8901A Infiniium-hosted oscilloscope interface software for digitizers, and the Keysight InfiniiMax probes.
Prices for the Guzik ADP7000 digitizers start at $100k with deliveries in early 2018. To order contact the Keysight Contact Center.
