Precision You Can Trust
NABL-Accredited Calibration | Available on Request
The Rigol DG5351 is a high-quality, one-channel function / arbitrary waveform generator that can generate signals up to 350 MHz with 1 GSa/s sample rate and 128 Mpts of memory depth. This device provides precise waveform generation with a variety of modulation options, making it ideal for signal creation in research, development, and production testing..
✨ Why It Helps (Cause → Effect)
1 GSa/s sample rate → sharp timing → waveforms keep their shape at speed.
128 Mpts memory → long patterns → continuous tests without repeats.
Many waveforms (sine, square, pulse, ramp, arbitrary) → one box → many jobs done right.
Advanced modulation (AM, PWM, FSK, IQ) → real-world stress → better validation of radios and DSP blocks.
🎛️ Operate Fast (Action → Result)
4.3″ TFT LCD → signals and settings stay clear → fewer mistakes.
Backlit keypad → easy control in dim labs → quicker edits.
Simple menus → find → set → run → faster setups, smoother workflows.
🔌 Connectivity (Plug → Automate)
USB / LAN / GPIB → SCPI remote control → script runs, log results, slot into ATE.
PC integration → repeatable profiles → consistent, defensible data.
🧪 Where It Fits (Use → Payoff)
RF/communication tests → IQ + FSK → realistic link checks.
Signal simulation → custom arbs → mimic sensors and faults.
Frequency response → sweeps map passbands → tuning gets quick.
Production → stored setups → identical outputs across lines.

📡 AM Modulation
Change amplitude with your message → carrier grows/shrinks → info rides cleanly.
⏱️ PWM Modulation
Vary pulse width → control timing and average power → motors/LEDs respond smoothly.
🎚️ FSK Modulation
Hop between two tones → bits ride as frequency shifts → robust links in noise.
🧭 IQ Modulation
Blend I (in-phase) + Q (quadrature) → form complex constellations → tighter, cleaner spectra.
🗺️ IQ-Mapping Editor
Draw/customize symbol points → craft your constellation → match real radios and tests.
💥 Burst Function
Gate signal on/off → timed pulse trains → mimic time slots, save power.
📈 Sweep Function
Slide frequency (and more) across a range → reveal resonances and bandwidth → find sweet spots fast.
🏃 Frequency Hopping (Software Option)
Jump channels rapidly → dodge interference → keep wireless links reliable.
