33621A Datasheet, PDF (2/24 Pages) Keysight Technologies – Trueform Waveform Generators

02 | Keysight | M33600A Series Trueform Waveform Generators - Data Sheet
Generate Trueform arbitrary waveforms with less jitter, more idelity and
greater resolution
Revolutionary advances over previous generation DDS
Trueform
Better Signal Integrity
33600A Series waveform generators with exclusive Trueform
signal generation technology offer more capability, idelity
and lexibility than previous generation Direct Digital Synthesis
(DDS) generators. Use them to accelerate your development
process from start to inish.

Over the past two decades, DDS has been the waveform generation
technology of choice in function generators and economical arbitrary
waveform generators. DDS enables waveform generators with great
frequency resolution, convenient custom waveforms, and a low price.
As with any technology, DDS has its limitations. Engineers
with exacting requirements have had to either work around the
compromised performance or spend up to 5 times more for a high-
end, point-per-clock waveform generator.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. Trueform technology offers an alternative
that blends the best of DDS and point-per-clock architectures,
giving you the beneits of both without the limitations of either.
Trueform technology uses an exclusive digital sampling technique
that delivers unmatched performance at the same low price you are
accustomed to with DDS.
The table below highlights the revolutionary capabilities of
Trueform technology.
