Understanding RF Digital to Analog Converters – creating signals up to 10GHz

In this tutorial we show how significant cost and complexity savings can be achieved, by using RF DAC features such as Multiple Nyquist Zones, Interpolation and Digital-Up-Conversion (DUC).

We use the Proteus P9484M Arbitrary Waveform Generator (RF AWG), with 9GHz of analog bandwidth, enabling direct generation of RF or Microwave Signals using either multiple Nyquist zones or the built-in IQ modulator feature of the DUC. Note the frequency 3.6GHz, should be 3.2GHz
