# What are the main performance metrics for microwave waveform generation?

The main performance metrics for [microwave waveform generation](https://www.quantum-machines.co/blog/opx1000-new-microware-module-boosts-quantum-computing/) include frequency bandwidth, phase noise, spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), and spectral purity. These metrics determine the ability of a system to generate precise and clean waveforms, which are essential for accurate qubit manipulation.
