University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Keysight Technologies UK Limited for an arbitrary waveform generator capable of producing GHz-frequency arbitrary waveforms and sub-nanosecond pulses.

The equipment, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), will be used by the Department of Physics and Astronomy for two scenarios: creating picosecond electrical pulses to drive an electro-optical modulator to convert a continuous wave laser into an arbitrary pulsed source, and creating complex electrical pulse sequences for microwave-frequency manipulation of electrical charges in semiconductor quantum dots.

The contract value was AUD 61,894.7.
