Highlights

An Integrated Instrument for Accurate and Versatile Testing

The Keysight 81150A pulse function arbitrary noise generator is a high-precision pulse generator enhanced with versatile signal generation, modulation, and distortion capabilities to stress your device to its limit. (For the same integrated functionality with pulse frequency up to 330 MHz and sine frequency up to 500 MHz, consider the Keysight 81160A.)

  • Pulse generator guarantees reproducible tests with precise signals and unbeatable timing stability
  • Noise generator combines two required extremes: random noise and repeatable noise with very long repetition rates for simple problem identification
  • Function arbitrary generator provides versatile waveforms and modulation capabilities to adapt the signal to your device requirements
  • Arbitrary bit-shaped pattern generator (optional) allows ideal and distorted pattern up to 120 Mbit/s

Engineered for the Best Signal Generation

The 81150A stresses your device limits for a vast spectrum of applications, including digital and mixed-signal device test, radar distance test, and sensor simulation.

  • Accurate signals test your device and not your signal source
  • Versatile waveform and noise generation to meet your stress test challenges today and tomorrow
  • Plug-and-play solution with everything integrated into one instrument to minimize cabling, space, and test time
