Rigol SPQ Array Measurement and Control Solution
The Rigol SPQ modular array measurement and control solution is designed for complex physical experiments. The system has a modular architecture that is divided into the platform, service module and synchronous triggering module. Users can flexibly configure the required service modules based on experimental requirements to construct various types of complex experimental systems. This modular architecture also facilitates system upgrades and expansion as needed. The system supports rapid deployment of microwave control and measurement systems with 100 to 1000 channels.
- Digital measurement and control with flexible configuration thanks to modular design.
- High sample rate: Generate RF control signals within the second Nyquist zone, with a maximum sample rate of 10 GS/s for transmit channels and 5 GS/s for receive channels.
- High integration density: A single 4U 19" device integrates 128 measurement and control channels, and a single cabinet can deploy thousands of measurement and control channels.
- Multi-device synchronization for thousands of measurement and control channels of dozens of devices that can work simultaneously, with phase drift less than ±5 ps.
- Low noise fan.
- Convergence computing: PXIe-to-PCIe bridge enables the server to control measurement and control device service boards via PCIe, and supports remote fiber optic connections. The collected data can be transferred to servers via low-latency and high-bandwidth DMA.
