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
datasignals,includingstandardnon-return-to-zero(NRZ)signals,ordataburstswith
programmable pulse width with additional delay to the clock signal.
Apartfromuserdeneddatasignals,standardizedpseudorandombinarysequences
(PRBS)canalsobegenerated.
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 manage-
ment 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-gen-
erated 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 charac-
terization, signal integrity, and jitter measurements, to complete standard compliance
test.

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

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.
Thecommonlyuseddirectdigitalsynthesis(DDS)technologythatprovidestheprecision
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
withμHzfrequencyresolution,fullbandwidth,and<40psjitter.
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.
The81150Aandthe81160Acombinedifferentinstrumentstoincreasetestefciency
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
forperformancevericationandchar-
acterization
– 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 varia-
tions can be easily simulated in a controlled manner. Physics, chemistry, biomedicine,
electronics,mechanics,andothereldscanbenetfromtheversatilityofanarbitrary
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 wave-
form 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
longrepetitionrateof20days(oreven26daysforthe81150A)guaranteesanalmost
random signal with exact signal repetition. The selectable crest factor guarantees to test
even serial bus standards.

Explore your Possibilities: M8195A
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 electri-
cal communication, advanced research, wideband radar and satcom.
In optical applications, for driving dual-polarization systems, the M8195A scores with
fourindependent,preciselysynchronizedoutputchannelsinasingleAXIemodule.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)andPAM8ortechnologiesinthemobileapplicationspacesuchasMIPIC-PHY.
Physics, chemistry and electronics research working at the edge of technology, call for
preciseandcongurablepulsesdownto100psorlessforextremelyshort,yetwideband
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.
