The Rohde & Schwarz AMIQ03 and AMIQ04 are high-performance dual-channel I/Q modulation generators designed for generating complex baseband and IF signals. Configured and controlled via the R&S WinIQSIM software, they support sample rates up to 100 MSample/s and offer expansive waveform memory (up to 16 MSamples for the AMIQ04) to enable long signal sequences. With 14-bit analog resolution, integrated hard and floppy drives, and configurable options for differential outputs, digital I/Q interfacing, and Bit Error Rate (BER) measurement, the AMIQ series is highly adaptable for multi-carrier simulation and testing digital modulators/demodulators.
