81160A Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator
Highlights
An Integrated Instrument For Accurate And Versatile Testing
The Keysight 81160A 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 in a cost-effective package, with pulse frequency up to 120 MHz and sine frequency up to 240 MHz, consider the Keysight 81150A.)
- 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 330 Mbit/s.
Engineered For The Best Signal Generation
The 81160A 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

Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator
- Generation of 330-MHz pulses and 500-MHz function/arbitrary waveforms with a 2.5-GSa/s sample rate and 14-bit vertical resolution;
- Selectable crest factors for white Gaussian noise lets engineers determine how much distortion to apply to a device during stress testing to meet various serial bus standards;
- Glitch-free timing parameter changes allow engineers to change the frequency without drop-outs or glitches and enable continuous operation without rebooting or resetting the device under test; and
- Arbitrary bit patterns show capacitive load of the channels using simple pattern settings. Complex measurement setups are no longer necessary to test designs to their limits.
- Pulses 330 MHz, 500 MHz sine waves, 660 Mbit pattern
