    • Arbitrary waveform generators

    The Perfect Signal Generation Instrument for Your Application 

    Keysight’s pulse, pattern, function, and arbitrary waveform generators deliver the reliable and accurate results you require whether you: 

    • Need to test your baseband devices with complex, digitally modulated waveforms, or 
    • Need to characterize a high-speed serial bus device at the physical layer, or 
    • Need to get a detailed insight into your system’s signal integrity.

    Pulse Generation 

    Pulse generation and signal parameters 

    A pulse generator provides full control over all pulse parameters like timing, levels, and edges as shown in Figure 1 below. It is used to set up continuous or triggered pulse streams and offers flexibility to address the most challenging applications. All parameters can be adjusted to meet the needs of the specific application. Pulse generation capability is provided by all models. The pulse function arbitrary noise generator provides all flexibility to generate ideal and worst-case signals. The Keysight instruments cover a frequency range from 1 µHz to 3 GHz and an output amplitude range from 50 mV up to 10 V.
