Description
The Tektronix AFG31151 function generator samples at up to 2 GS/s and reaches 150 MHz sine from a single output. A high sample rate gives arbitrary waveforms finer time steps. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, with a quote built around your configuration.
Why the sample rate matters
Sample rate sets the time resolution of an arbitrary waveform. At 2 GS/s, each step in the waveform can be short, so fast edges and detailed shapes have room. The 14-bit resolution then covers the amplitude side. Together, the two numbers define how closely the output follows the waveform you design.
Specification list
- One output channel, 50 Ω output impedance.
- Output sine runs continuously from 1 μHz and tops out at 150 MHz.
- Sample rate up to 2 GS/s, 14-bit resolution.
- 16 Mpoints per channel of standard advanced-mode memory.
- Optional 128 Mpoints per channel, not included unless specified.
- 9-inch touchscreen plus front-panel controls.
In short, the Tektronix AFG31151 function generator trades the second channel for speed. Therefore it fits single-signal work that needs high frequency.
Test ideas for the Tektronix AFG31151 function generator
The source points to filters, amplifiers, sensor interfaces and other low-voltage circuits. At 150 MHz, you can sweep a filter response well past audio. You can also drive a sensor front end with a repeatable stimulus. Watch the result on an oscilloscope through a rated probe.
Output checklist
First, pick the waveform. Then set the load to match your circuit, and set amplitude and offset. Next, check the datasheet for amplitude limits at your frequency. Only after that, enable the output. In addition, keep it away from mains and high-voltage switching circuits.
Request your quote
If 150 MHz exceeds your need, a 100 MHz model exists in the same family.

AFG31151 questions
How fast does it sample?
Up to 2 GS/s, with 14-bit vertical resolution.
Which family does it belong to?
Tektronix AFG31000, which uses a 9-inch touchscreen and front-panel controls.
Does the quote include extra memory?
Only when you ask. The 128 Mpoints upgrade is optional, while 16 Mpoints per channel is standard in advanced mode.
