Signal Integrity: Outputting the Signals You Expect
If your generator is introducing spurious signals or harmonics, you’ll have a hard time producing reliable designs. To be successful, you
need to test with clean, precise, low-noise signals. Keysight Trueform function / arbitrary waveform generators offer the highest signal
fidelity so you can generate the exact waveforms you need for your most challenging measurements. You can be confident you are
seeing your design’s characteristics, and not that of your waveform generator, in your measurements.
Reproduce lower-voltage output signals
Today’s ultra-low-power products such as pacemakers, hearing
aids and remote sensors use very low voltages. With Trueform
function / arbitrary waveform generators, you can create signals
as low as 1 mVpp. That is a 10x lower voltage range than typical
waveform generators.
Use the optional high-stability time base for even
better accuracy
Get improved time-based stability and frequency accuracy using
the optional high-stability time base. The optional timebase offers
0.1 ppm stability, which is 20x more stable than the standard time
base over one year.
Trueform function / arbitrary waveform generators offer the lowest total harmonic
distortion (THD) in its class.
Typical direct digital synthesizer (DDS) generator has a higher noise floor and
greater harmonics.
<1 ps <200 ps
Trueform technology shown on the left significantly improves jitter performance
compared to a traditional function generator shown on the right.
Lowest jitter
With jitter as low as 1 ps, Trueform function / arbitrary waveform
generators offer exceptional edge stability. You can even use them
as a system clock for timing and triggering your other instruments.
With better jitter performance, you can place edges more
accurately, helping you reduce timing errors in your circuit design.
Lowest harmonic distortion
With total harmonic distortion of just 0.03%, Trueform waveform
generators offer up to 5x better fidelity than other generators.
Clean, spurious-free signals don’t introduce noise or artifacts.
