This unit
The Keysight 33520B is a dual-channel, 30 MHz waveform generator engineered for precision signal generation in design validation, manufacturing test, and education. Built on Keysight's Trueform technology, it delivers superior signal fidelity with total harmonic distortion as low as 0.04% - five times better than conventional DDS generators - along with 12x lower jitter than competitive instruments.
Technical Specifications
The 33520B outputs standard waveforms (sine, square, ramp, pulse, triangle), gaussian noise, PRBS, and DC. Seventeen built-in arbitrary waveforms including cardiac, haversine, and Lorentz patterns enable rapid prototyping. True point-by-point arbitrary waveform generation with sequencing supports user-defined signals with 1 MSa per channel standard memory; optional 16 MSa per channel (Option MEM) accommodates longer waveforms. Waveform summing combines up to four signals across two channels. Core signal parameters include 250 MSa/s sampling rate, 16-bit vertical resolution, and 1 mVpp to 10 Vpp amplitude range. Pulse edge jitter measures as low as 40 ps with 8.4 ns rise and fall times. These performance metrics enable testing of precision analog and mixed-signal circuits.Key Features
- Dual independent channels with synchronized or asynchronous operation
- AM, FM, PM, FSK, BPSK, PWM, and sum modulation up to the carrier frequency
- USB, LAN (LXI-C/LXI Core), and GPIB interfaces for laboratory and production environments
- Front-panel USB for direct file management and remote web-browser operation over LAN
- Compact form factor: 212.8 mm (W) × 272.3 mm (D) × 88.3 mm (H); 3.3 kg
