New product briefing note: -
TG5011 & TG2511
50MHz & 25MHz DDS Function Generators
Background
TTi have been producing DDS based function/arbitrary generators
since 1995. The successor to the original product, the TG1010A, is
still in production and selling well.
However, Agilent have successfully dominated this market - originally
with the HP 33120 and then with its successor, the Agilent 33220A.
This product remains the market leader despite attempts to dislodge
it, most notably by Tektronix with the AFG3000 series.
Over the past decade, TTi have concentrated on lower cost pure
function generators (TG300 series, TG550, TG2000) and on
multi-channel true arbitrary waveform generators (TGA1240 and
TGA12100 series).
A truly competitive DDS function/arbitrary generator
Now TTi are launching a competitor to the Agilent 33220A offering
all of the facilities of that product but with much higher bandwidth
and sampling speed.
The TG5011 is a 50MHz product that will sell at a significantly lower
price than the 20MHz Agilent 33220A and offers a dramatically
better price to performance ratio.
Unlike the Tek AFG3000 series, the TG5011 uses a similar half rack
2U case style to the Agilent product. Despite this, it incorporates a
much larger screen capable of displaying representative waveforms
simultaneously with text. It therefore provides a similar level of
information to the very large screen of the Tektronix products.
Pricing
The current price of the 20MHz Agilent 33220A is $1870 (plus options)
while that of the 25MHz Tektronix AFG3021 is $1950.
The TG5011 benefits from using the latest internal technologies and The price of the 50MHz TG5011 will be $1495*. The TG5011G that
has up-to-date features such as USB flash drive storage.
includes a GPIB interface will be $1635*.

Agilent now have a lower cost model, the 10MHz
33210A at $1200, but this has no arbitrary
waveform capability unless option 002 is specified
which costs another $400.
By contrast, the 25MHz TG2511 includes arbitrary
waveform capability as standard and will be priced
at $1295*.

Agilent have a dominant position in this market
and are likely to maintain it. However, TTi believes
that the combination of higher performance and
lower price will enable the TG5011 and TG2511 to
take a share of the market which, although low in
percentage terms, can represent very significant
sales levels totalling several thousand per year.
The launch of the TG5011 & TG2511 will be backed
up with high quality printed and web material
which demonstrates the products superior value.
