Description
Optical and serial links keep pushing symbol rates higher, and the test source must stay ahead of them. The Keysight M8199B waveform generator reaches 256 GSa/s with 80 GHz of analog bandwidth, so it can build waveforms above 160 Gbaud. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, and it arranges service on request.

| Form factor | 2-slot AXIe module |
Built for the fastest links
Researchers use this class of AWG for 224 Gbaud optical and coherent communication work. At those rates, the generator limits what you can test. For example, sample rate and bandwidth decide whether a stressed signal keeps its shape at the output. Therefore, 256 GSa/s gives the headroom that slower sources lack.
Scaling from one module to eight channels
You can synchronize one- or two-channel modules into a larger system with up to eight channels. Multi-lane and coherent setups often need that many outputs. In addition, the high output amplitude can reduce the need for external amplifiers when you build stressed-signal tests. PathWave software and the AXIe architecture then help you repeat waveform creation across runs.
Work for the Keysight M8199B waveform generator
- Optical and coherent communication research
- High-speed serial receiver and component characterization
- Advanced modulation and arbitrary signal generation
- Semiconductor, electro-optical and aerospace waveform tests
Check the chassis and options early
An AXIe module needs a compatible chassis, so ask what the quote includes. Also confirm the channel count, software licenses and any accessory for the 120 GHz bandwidth figure. However, never assume the headline values apply at once. The offered configuration sets the real limits.
Rent or buy the Keysight M8199B waveform generator
A research grant, a standards study or a demo may need this AWG for a limited time. Renting then avoids a large purchase. A lab with a long-running link program may prefer to own one. Lost in HCM supplies the unit, while SMK Vietnam only shows the listing.

M8199B questions
How many channels does one module have?
One or two. Synchronized modules can reach up to eight channels.
Does the 120 GHz bandwidth come standard?
No. The listing gives 80 GHz, and up to 120 GHz needs the M8159A.
Can I run it without a chassis?
No. It is a 2-slot AXIe module, so it needs a compatible chassis.
