## Notice

The requirement is for a 2 channel AWG that can provide high quality signals up to and beyond 2.3 GHz. In common usage one of the two channels of the AWG will generate a modulated IF signal at 1.8 GHz (+/- 500 MHz) for upconversion to a higher frequency. The second channel will generate a coherent reference signal at 1.8 GHz for final IQ down-conversion to baseband.
