07 | Keysight | Pulse Pattern and Function Arbitrary Generators and Arbitrary Waveform Generator – Brochure

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 the diagram 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 5 GHz and an output amplitude range from 50 mV
up to 100 V.

Glitch-free timing changes
The Keysight 81150A, 81160A, 81133A, 81134A, 81110A and N4903B uniquely allow timing parameter changes, such as changing the frequency, without dropouts or glitches.
This industry-leading feature enables continuous operation without rebooting or resetting the device under test, when measuring a PLL pull-in and hold range for instance, or
to characterize a device over a sweeping clock frequency.

From Pulse to Pattern, Data and PRBS
Pulse pattern generators not only generate single impulses, bursts
or continuous pulse streams as mentioned before.
Their pattern capability also allows the generation of data signals. This versatility is key
to digital device test applications, for example for compliance tests.
In pattern mode, the same full control over the signal output is available as in the
traditional pulse generation mode. This allows the generation of uncounted forms of
data signals, including standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signals, or data bursts with
programmable pulse width with additional delay to the clock signal.
Apart from user defined data signals, standardized pseudo random binary sequences
(PRBS) can also be generated.
The ability to create user-defined bit patterns, standard compliant data and
PRBS make the Keysight pulse pattern generators the ideal source for:
–– Stimulated eye diagram measurements
–– Cross-talk measurements
–– Compliance tests
–– Jitter tests
–– Signal integrity measurements
–– Stress tests for receivers
With the 81250A data generator and analyzer platform, modular and parallel pulse and
data applications can be addressed with up to 132 parallel channels. The 81130A’s data
looping capabilities or the 12 MBit deep memory and the PC based pattern management tool of the 81133A and 81134A enable you to generate ‘real-life’ data sequences for
today’s latest technology, like serial high-speed busses.
Pulse pattern generators provide all the tools to generate the data packets needed for
digital bus device tests: integrated pattern editors, PC-based graphically enhanced data
and pattern management software, segment looping features as well as hardware-generated PRBS. This enables engineers to quickly gain detailed insight into their digital bus
device - including devices for:
–– USB 2.0
–– Serial ATA
–– PCI Express ®
–– Firewire and more
These tools allow the easy carrying out of all measurements from physical layer characterization, signal integrity, and jitter measurements, to complete standard compliance
test.

From Digital to Analog
The Keysight family of function arbitrary and arbitrary waveform generators with a wide
range of possibilities to generate the signals you need. Whether you require a clean, low
distortion sine wave, a variable-edge-time pulse or a complex custom waveform Keysight
provides the right choice.
The commonly used direct digital synthesis (DDS) technology that provides the precision
of digitally controlled logic to increase the stability of the output signal and reduce the
complexity of the generator.
Using a Keysight proprietary point-by-point technology, the Keysight 33520 Series
combines the low cost of DDS with the precision found in higher cost arbitrary waveform
generators. With true point-by-point, the 33520 Series reproduces each point in memory
with μHz frequency resolution, full bandwidth, and < 40 ps jitter.
The U2761A is a 20 MHz USB modular function generator with arbitrary waveform
capabilities. The 332x0 Series contains three instruments for 10 MHz, 20 MHz, and 80
MHz sine waves. The 30 MHz, 16-bit 33520 Series 1 and 2 channel function/ arbitrary
waveform generators use true point-by-point technology.
The 81150A and the 81160A combine different instruments to increase test efficiency
while reducing test time.

Mixed signal devices require analog and digital signals in addition to
modulation capabilities.
Combining different instruments like a pulse generator, function arbitrary generator, and
noise generator allows you to generate the signal you need, whether it is an ideal pulse
or a real-world signal.
The 81150A and the 81160A provide:
–– A pulse generator with precise signals
for performance verification and characterization
–– A function arbitrary generator for
versatile signal generation to optimize
testing and for modulation to shape the
signal to the DUT needs
–– A noise generator to distort signals and
build worst-case scenarios
–– An optional pattern generator to emulate digital devices with real-world conditions.
Signal imperfections such as rise time, ringing, glitches, noise and random timing variations can be easily simulated in a controlled manner. Physics, chemistry, biomedicine,
electronics, mechanics, and other fields can benefit from the versatility of an arbitrary
waveform generator. Wherever things vibrate, pump, pulse, bubble, burst, or change with
time, there are applications available – limited only by your ability to specify the waveform data.
The noise generators are needed to distort the signal in a controlled and repeatable
manner. Your device under test might require an arbitrary or a Gaussian distribution. A
long repetition rate of 20 days (or even 26 days for the 81150A) guarantees an almost
random signal with exact signal repetition. The selectable crest factor guarantees to test
even serial bus standards.

The Basics: 33200 and 33500 Series
The Keysight 33200 and 33500 function/ arbitrary waveform generators are economical instruments used to create signals up to 80
MHz. With their ability to produce functions (sine, square, pulse,
etc.) as well as user-defined arbitrary waveforms, these instruments
are versatile additions to any electronics bench or test system.

Function
Arbitrary
The 33200 Series offers three bandwidths: 10 MHz, 20 MHz, and 80 MHz for the 33210A,
33220A, and 33250A, respectively. They all use the direct digital synthesis (DDS) technology explained earlier to produce both the functions as well as the arbitrary waveforms. By using DDS, these instruments can produce signals with very high frequency
resolution while having low distortion. All instruments in the 33200 Series provide standard functions, arbitrary waveforms, modulation, sweep, burst, and triggered outputs.
Also, they can be synchronized to another Function/Arbitrary Waveform generator or to
a user-supplied 10 MHz clock.
The one and two channel 33500 Series sets a new standard in the 30 MHz function/arbitrary waveform generator class of products. Based on a proprietary Keysight technology,
these instruments offer true point-by-point waveform generation. The 33500 Series
provides standard functions, arbitrary waveforms, modulation, sweep, burst, triggered
outputs, synchronization to an external reference, and 2-channel operation (33522A).

81150A Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator
The Keysight 81150A pulse function arbitrary noise generator
enables reliable and repeatable measurements. It is the instrument
of choice for pulse and clock generation.

Pulse
Function
Arbitrary
Noise
It offers flexible pulse, clock and trigger generation with highest signal quality and with a
frequency range up to 120 MHz. It is therefore a perfect fit for all system clock or trigger
applications.
It combines the benefits of a pulse generator, a noise generator and a function arbitrary
generator. The pattern generator is optional and allows sending ideal and real-world
pattern. The arbitrary bit shaping lets you emulate overshoot, asymmetric delay and duty
cycle distortion up to 120 Mbit/s.
Test your DUT with high quality pulses but without any effects generated by the source.
Achieve complete control over timing parameters including trigger ability with fixed
latency and glitch-free change of timing. The different modulation capabilities up to
10 MHz, combined with the precision digital noise functionality, allow you to build realworld signals, simply and quickly. Use real-life signals for worst case scenarios e.g.,
reproducible noise.
The selectable crest factor (voltage peak/RMS1) combined with the long repetition
period of 26 days helps you to stress your device to its limits but keeping the test results
repeatable. The enhanced trigger capabilities are there to measure exactly when needed.

Explore your Possibilities: M8195A
Go where you never have been able to test before: in speed, in
bandwidth and in channel density.

As devices and interfaces become faster and more complex, the M8195A AWG gives you
the versatility to create the signals you need for digital applications, optical and electrical communication, advanced research, wideband radar and satcom.
In optical applications, for driving dual-polarization systems, the M8195A scores with
four independent, precisely synchronized output channels in a single AXIe module. Since
all four channels are generated by the same instrument without any external circuitry,
precise synchronization down to the femto-second-range is guaranteed.
The M8195A supports multi-level signaling techniques like pulse-amplitude modulation 4
(PAM4)  and PAM 8 or technologies in the mobile application space such as MIPI C-PHY.
Physics, chemistry and electronics research working at the edge of technology, call for
precise and configurable pulses down to 100 ps or less for extremely short, yet wideband
RF pulses and chirps.
Any arbitrary waveform which can be described mathematically can be generated e.g., in
Matlab and downloaded to the M8195A.
The M8195A is designed to address communications/satcom requirements, such as
extremely wide instantaneous bandwidth from DC to the Ku-Band. It also allows fast
frequency hopping across bands within hundreds of picoseconds.

Transition/Time Converters
Models 15432B, 15433B, 1534B, 15435A, 15438A, and
N4915A Option 001
These converters have been designed to convert the transition
times of instruments with fast, fixed transition times, to slower, fixed
transition/times
All transition times are measured between 10% and 90% of amplitude.
The design of these converters ensures very low signal reflection (far beyond the 3 dB
point).
Reducing the signal transition times also increases the overall pulse-performance for
overshoot/reflection sensitive applications.
The converters are fitted with two SMA connectors, one male, one female.
