Technical data sheet for the Agilent 33500B series waveform generator, detailing performance, specifications, and features.
The Agilent 33500B series waveform generator uses Agilent's proprietary Trueform technology to deliver ultra‑low jitter, high‑resolution, and full‑bandwidth pulse output. It supports up to 30 MHz pulse generation, 16‑bit vertical resolution, and a deep memory of 1 M points (expandable to 16 M points) for complex waveform sequences.
The instrument includes dual‑channel operation, built‑in LAN, USB, and GPIB interfaces, and an LXI‑compatible web browser for remote control. It also provides standard PRBS code generation, variable‑bandwidth noise, and optional IQ playback for advanced communication testing. This manual is written in Chinese.
| Maximum Pulse Bandwidth | 30 MHz |
|---|---|
| Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) | 0.04 % |
| Jitter (edge stability) | 40 ps |
| Rise/Fall Time | 8.4 ns |
| Vertical Resolution | 16 bits |
| Minimum Output Voltage | 1 mVpp |
| Standard Memory Depth | 1 M points |
| Optional Memory Depth | 16 M points |
The 33500B series achieves edge jitter as low as 40 ps, which is a 12‑fold improvement over comparable devices.
The instrument can generate full‑bandwidth pulses up to 30 MHz.
The THD is specified at 0.04 % for the 33500B series.
