This unit
The Keysight 33521B is a single-channel, 30 MHz waveform generator delivering high-fidelity signal generation through Trueform technology. This benchtop instrument generates standard waveforms, arbitrary signals, and modulated outputs with harmonic distortion and jitter performance. The 250 MSa/s sampling rate and 16-bit resolution enable precise, repeatable signal creation for design validation, circuit characterization, and research applications.
Technical Specifications
- Bandwidth: 30 MHz
- Channels: 1
- Sampling Rate: 250 MSa/s
- Resolution: 16-bit
- Amplitude Range: 1 mVpp to 10 Vpp
- Waveform Memory: 1 MSa/channel standard; 16 MSa/channel with Option MEM
- Rise/Fall Time: 8.4 ns
- Harmonic Distortion: 5× lower than DDS technology (sine waves)

Key Features Standard Waveforms: Sine, square, ramp, pulse, triangle, Gaussian noise, PRBS, and DC. Seventeen built-in waveforms included. Arbitrary Waveform Generation: Point-by-point creation with multi-segment sequencing. Non-aliasing technology maintains accuracy across all rates. Built-in ARB waveforms include cardiac, exponential fall/rise, Gaussian pulse, haversine, Lorentz, D-Lorentz, negative ramp, and sinc. Modulation Capabilities: AM, FM, PM, FSK, BPSK, PWM, and sum (carrier + modulation). Modulation frequency up to the carrier frequency. Signal Combining: Dual-tone multifrequency generation without dual-channel hardware. On two-channel models, sum and combine up to four signals. Noise Generation: Variable bandwidth noise control for frequency content shaping.
