Pulse function arbitrary noise generator

Click2Contact

Agilent Technologies has introduced a pulse function arbitrary noise generator, which provides superior signal quality combined with versatile programmable waveforms. It is suitable for general-purpose bench tests or advanced serial data stress tests.

The 81150A pulse function arbitrary noise generator provides versatile waveforms for pulse generation as well as noise generation for stress testing. The instrument's integration into one instrument minimises cabling, space and test time.

The instrument is suitable stimulus for use in conjunction with Agilent's 5000, 6000 and 80000 Infiniium real-time oscilloscopes or DCA-J sampling oscilloscopes for serial data testing. Engineers need to create ideal and worst-case signals to get accurate and accelerated insight into devices and designs such as semiconductor circuits, sensors or modulators.

Calibrated and deterministic noise for repeatable stress tests and random noise generation provide all-in-one capability with the 81150A. Various stress tests can be achieved by simply adjusting the crest factor, an indicator of signal quality using peak-to-peak and root mean square voltages.

Features of the generator include:

• accurate signals with intrinsic jitter of 8 ps rms at any frequency;
• differential output and high-voltage amplifier for state-of-the-art devices;
• 13 standard functions and modulation capabilities up to 10 MHz;
• more than 80 measurement types;
• integration into one instrument, which minimises cabling, space and test time.
