September 25(th)—SIGLENT launches the next-generation SDG3000X Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator. Designed for high fidelity and high precision signal generation, SDG3000X series offers up to 200 MHz output frequency, 40 Mpts arbitrary waveform length per channel, 16-bit vertical resolution and a maximum sampling rate of 1.2 GSa/s. Featuring a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, an intuitive interface, and robust signal generation capabilities, the SDG3000X is well-suited for applications in communications, semiconductors, new energy technologies, and academic research.


High-Fidelity Signal Generation and Precision Pulse Output

The SDG3000X incorporates EasyPulse and TrueArb technologies to set a new benchmark for signal generation accuracy, which significantly improve upon the limitations of traditional DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) waveform generation.


High precision pulse generation, flexible adjustment of edge pulse width

EasyPulse is optimized for pulse signal generation. It is capable of producing pulses as narrow as 8 ns with fast rising/falling edges that remain stable across frequency variations. It allows for wide-ranging, fine-grained adjustments of edge timing and pulse width, making it ideal tool for generating high-precision pulse signals.


Advanced Arbitrary and Complex Signal Generation

With 196 built-in arbitrary waveforms and a memory depth of up to 40 Mpts per channel, the SDG3000X provides the capacity to store and accurately reproduce complex signals. It also features a flexible sequence mode, allowing users to define playback order and loop counts for each waveform segment—ideal for custom and repetitive test scenarios.


Flexible signal generation, covering complex test requirements

It supports PRBS signal output up to 120 Mbps, baseband and IF IQ signal generation with symbol rates from 250 to 50 MSymb/s, and a wide range of modulation types including AM, DSB-SC, FM, PM, FSK, ASK, PSK, and PWM. With built-in Sweep and Burst modes, the SDG3000X delivers comprehensive support across a variety of test environments—from education and R&D to industrial power device testing.


Double-Pulse Testing for Power Semiconductors

Double-pulse testing is critical in analyzing the dynamic behavior of power semiconductor devices such as IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs, particularly for evaluating switching losses and conduction characteristics. The SDG3000X offers an ideal platform for this application.
With channel tracking and phase synchronization, users can precisely control pulse widths and timing intervals to simulate realistic switching behavior. Combined with remote control via USB/LAN, and oscilloscope synchronization, the SDG3000X simplifies the creation of automated test systems—enhancing both testing efficiency and data reliability.


Intelligent User Experience

Equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen, the SDG3000X allows intuitive parameter settings and signal viewing. It supports MATLAB and Python script import and oscilloscope linkage for automatic calibration. A built-in high-precision frequency counter, along with multiple communication interfaces such as LAN, USB, and GPIB, and a built-in WebServer, ensures easy remote access and synchronization across multiple devices—streamlining workflows and boosting productivity.

On March 12, 2025, SIGLENT introduced the SSG6082A-V Vector Signal Generator, a high-performance instrument with an output frequency range of 9 kHz to 8 GHz and a 500 MHz bandwidth IQ baseband source, significantly enhancing its portfolio of vector signal solutions. Concurrently, a firmware update for the PC Software SigIQPro will be released in synchronization with the SSG6082A-V, introducing expanded support for WiFi, 5G NR, LTE, and other mainstream communication protocols to streamline the generation of sophisticated signals.
With the ongoing advancement of wireless communication, the introduction of new mobile network standards, and the growing adoption of IoT and communication technologies, the demand for high-performance RF solutions continues to rise. Developers and engineers face increasingly stringent requirements, particularly in generating complex modulated signals that are essential for modern communication and IoT applications. To meet these growing demands, Siglent is expanding its portfolio with a new high-performance vector signal generator.

Expanded Output Frequency and Power Range

With a maximum frequency of 8 GHz and a peak output level of 30 dBm for CW signals, the new generator serves as both a high-precision RF source and a carrier for modulated signals. Its wide frequency and power range meet the demanding testing requirements of many modern communication systems.
