Siglent SDG7032A 350 MHz Arbitrary Function Waveform Generator
SIGLENT’s SDG7032A is a dual-channel Arbitrary Waveform Generator with a 350 MHz bandwidth, a maximum sample rate of 5 GSa/s and 14-bit vertical resolution. It can generate arbitrary waveforms point by point with a maximum 2.5 GSa/s sample rate and vector signal with a maximum 500 MS/s.
Product overview
The SDG7032A is a flagship dual-channel arbitrary waveform generator with up to 350 MHz bandwidth, a 5 GSa/s sample rate and 14-bit vertical resolution. It generates high-fidelity, low-jitter signals — continuous wave, pulse, noise, PRBS and arbitrary — with up to 512 Mpts of memory and segment editing/playback.
Differential and single-ended outputs deliver a wide ±24 V range (24 Vpp + ±12 Vdc offset), so large signals stay clean at high frequency without an external amplifier. Optional IQ/vector generation (with EasyIQ and SigIQPro), a 16-channel digital bus and bandwidth upgrades extend it further. A 5-inch capacitive touchscreen, a frequency counter and USB/LAN with a web server make the SDG7032A a complete signal source for advanced R&D, communications and mixed-signal test.
Key highlights
350 MHz · dual-channel
Two differential/single-ended channels to 350 MHz, with a 5 GSa/s sample rate and 14-bit resolution.
5 GSa/s · 14-bit
A 5 GSa/s sampling system and 14-bit vertical resolution generate high-fidelity, low-jitter signals.
±24 V wide output
A 24 Vpp output with ±12 Vdc offset gives a ±24 V range — often removing the need for an external amplifier.
512 Mpts arb · segments
Point-by-point arbitrary playback (0.01 Sa/s–2.5 GSa/s) with up to 512 Mpts memory and segment editing/playback.
16-ch digital bus (opt.)
An optional 16-bit LVTTL/LVDS digital bus up to 1 Gbps enables true mixed-signal stimulus.
IQ / vector (opt.)
Optional vector generation to 500 MS/s (DC–1 GHz carrier), with EasyIQ and the SigIQPro protocol suite.
Core capabilities
Dual-channel, differential
Two independent differential/single-ended channels with full specifications, plus tracking, coupling, copy, phase-lock and superposition.

Wide-range output
A 24 Vpp analog output with ±12 Vdc offset for a ±24 V (48 V) range — large amplitude at high frequency without an external amplifier.
Modulation, sweep & hopping
AM, FM, PM, PWM, ASK, FSK, PSK and DSB-SC, plus sweep, burst, frequency hopping, multi-pulse and PRBS to 312.5 Mbps.
IQ / vector & SigIQPro
Optional ASK/PSK/FSK/QAM (to 256QAM), MSK and MultiTone to 500 MS/s (DC–1 GHz), with EasyIQ and SigIQPro (Bluetooth, IoT, OFDM).
16-channel digital bus
An optional 16-bit LVTTL/LVDS digital bus up to 1 Gbps combines with the analog channels for mixed-signal outputs.
Features in depth
Wide-range, high-voltage output
The SDG7000A delivers a 24 Vpp analog output superimposed with a ±12 Vdc offset, for a maximum output range of ±24 V (48 V). This large amplitude is maintained even at high frequency, which eliminates the need for an external power amplifier in many applications and addresses a wider range of requirements. Differential and single-ended outputs give the flexibility to drive balanced and unbalanced loads directly from the generator, with full specifications on both channels.
16-channel digital bus (optional)
With the optional digital-bus kit the SDG7000A adds a 16-channel LVTTL or LVDS output with a bit rate from 1 μbps up to 1 Gbps. Combine the digital bus with the two analog channels to create true mixed-signal stimulus — for example driving a device under test with analog waveforms while clocking or addressing it over the digital bus. It pairs naturally with a logic-analyzer-equipped oscilloscope for complete mixed-signal validation.
IQ / vector signal generation (optional)
Activate the optional IQ licence and the SDG7000A becomes a capable vector signal source, generating ASK, FSK, PSK and QAM (to 256QAM), MSK and MultiTone with symbol rates up to 500 MS/s and a carrier from DC to 1 GHz. EasyIQ creates and edits I/Q data, while the SigIQPro suite adds ready-made standards such as Bluetooth, IoT 802.15.4 and OFDM — extending the instrument into communications and wireless R&D.
