Family Of Waveform Generators Delivers Signal Accuracy

The 33500B Series waveform generators from Agilent include eight new one- and two-channel models, which generate waveforms up to 30 MHz and incorporate exclusive Trueform signal-generation technology. Trueform enables these models to offer capabilities for generating a full range of signals for the demanding measurements required in designing electronic devices. The generators boast lowest jitter and lowest total harmonic distortion in their class, and with better jitter performance, engineers can place edges more accurately. With total harmonic distortion less than 0.04 percent and non-harmonic spurs less than 75 dBc, the generators offer clean signals that don’t introduce noise. The waveform generators 8.4-ns rise and fall times and low jitter allow engineers to also set trigger points more accurately, and 16 bits of resolution allows output changes down to 1 uV for testing today’s low-voltage circuits and designs. Available now, pricing for the 33500B series waveform generators starts at $1,650.
