Keysight Advanced Waveform Generators

Videos

This video introduces Keysight Advanced Benchtop Waveform Generators, designed to deliver precise, low‑distortion signal generation for complex testing environments such as RF systems, radar pulse modulation, wireless communication development, and advanced electronic design. These generators expand on the capabilities of Essential models by offering improved signal integrity, variable noise generation, waveform summing for multi‑tone stimulus, and advanced pulse‑generation features. Engineers can confidently simulate real‑world conditions including multitone interference, fast‑edge pulses, and dynamic communication signals.

Advanced waveform generators provide less than 40 ps jitter and under 0.04% total harmonic distortion (THD), ensuring clean, high‑purity stimulus for accurate device characterization. Variable‑bandwidth noise injection enables controlled noise environments for stress and sensitivity testing, while waveform summing allows users to combine two independent signals into a single output which is ideal for generating two‑tone and multitone RF waveforms without additional hardware. Enhanced pulse‑generation capabilities support precise control of width, rise time, fall time, and modulation parameters, enabling realistic radar and digital communication waveform creation.
 

Key features include:

  • High Signal Integrity: Generate clean, precise signals with <40 ps jitter and <0.04% total harmonic distortion.
  • Variable Bandwidth Noise: Inject adjustable noise into waveforms to simulate challenging RF or digital environments.
  • Waveform Summing: Combine two independent waveforms into a single output for creating dual‑tone and complex mixed signals.
  • Pulse Generation: Produce pulses with fast edges, precise parameter control, and enhanced modulation options.
     

Advanced Benchtop Waveform Generators deliver clean signal generation, flexible modulation, adjustable noise, and multi‑signal synthesis for RF, radar, and wireless communication testing. Engineers requiring high signal fidelity and expanded capability can rely on Advanced generators to accelerate characterization, debugging, and design verification.
