Applications
The applications illustrated are samples of what the versa-
tile 2030 Synthesizer can do.
Clocking Source for ATE
Ideal for general production test, the 2030 also provides
accurate and flexible clocking for a variety of devices
such as timing circuits, multiplexers, DACs, ADCs, and
memories. A fast 15 ns pulse rise time drives clock-sensi-
tive CMOS memories. Over 50 user test signals can be
stored in the unit.
Digital Communications
Testing modern communications products, such as
modems, requires various special signals and modula-
tions. The 2030 produces many of these, including phase
shift keying and frequency shift keying, over a wide range
of frequency and modulation rates. Menus allow fast, pre-
cise setup to industry-standard test specifications. To test
jitter immunity, a specified phase modulation rate and
maximum phase angle are entered.
Sonar Simulation
The 2030 tests the detection capability of a phased sonar
array without the expense of field recording by simulating
a target using 3 primary tones plus noise. The noise ampli-
tude and spectral line spacing may be altered to mask
some of the tones. Non-sinusoidal tones are simulated
with square, triangle, or modulated signals.
Dynamic LCD Testing
LCD displays require pulsed AC drive for fastest
response. The 2030 provides full control of pulse modula-
tion, enabling detailed study of LCD characteristics.
The full selection of standard functions includes
programmable noise.
The exponential decay envelope simulates a
drum beat or an RF loran burst.
Standard AM and suppressed carrier are
generated with high accuracy.
