Agilent 81150A/81160A Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator

The Agilent 81150A and 81160A pulse function arbitrary noise generators set the standard for the next generation of lab: for fast, accurate insight into your design or device under test. Both of them offer:

• Pulse generators with precise signals for performance verification and characterization
• A function arbitrary generator
• A noise generator to distort signals to build up worst case scenarios
• An optional pattern generator to test in addition to analog, digital and mixed signal devices with ideal and real-world conditions

Superior precision pulses with unbeatable timing stability guarantee reproducible tests. The signal quality and trigger functionality provide everything you need for trigger or system clock applications.

Pulse Generator – Test Your Device and Not Your Source

You can change the timing parameters (delay, frequency, transition time, width, duty cycle) without dropouts or glitches. This patented, industry-leading feature means continuous operation without having to reboot or reset your device under test, for example when you are characterizing a device by sweeping the clock frequency. Apart from full control of the timing parameters, you can also adjust levels and edges as needed.

Function Arbitrary Generator– Stress Your Device to its Limit

If you need further signal conditioning, the Agilent 81150A and the Agilent 81160A pulse function arbitrary noise generators provide versatile waveforms and modulation capabili-ties to adapt your signal to your device’s requirements. AM, FM, FSK, PM and PWM are available at modulation frequencies up to 10 MHz and to 50 MHz. The Agilent 81150A and the Agilent 81160A pulse function arbitrary noise generators can use internal or external modulation sources. Internal modulation can be generated from the 2nd channel or the internal modulation source of the modulated channel.

Pattern Generator – Test in Addition to Analog, Digital and Mixed Signal Devices

Engineers working with serial buses or designers of analog, digital and mixed signal devices require stressing their design with pattern. The Agilent 81150A and the Agilent 81160A arbitrary bit shaped pattern generator allow sending ideal and real-world pattern. The Agilent 81150A with arbitrary bit shaped pattern allows emulating overshoot, asym-metric delay and duty cycle distortion up to 120 MHz, the Agilent 81160A even up to 660 MHz. Patterns can be easily set up and distorted at your fingertips.
