Trueform Technology
Signal integrity: Test your devices with confidence that your signal generator is
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 suc-
cessful, you need to test with clean, precise, low-noise signals.
Keysight 33500B Series 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, not your waveform
generator’s, in your measurements.
Lowest harmonic distortion
With total harmonic distortion of just 0.04%, the 33500B
Series offers 5x better fidelity than other generators. Clean,
spurious-free signals don’t introduce noise or artifacts. See your
design’s characteristics, not the waveform generator’s, in your
measurements.
33500B Series waveform generators offer the
following advantages:
Lowest jitter
With 12x better jitter than anything in their class, 33500B Series
waveform generators offer unparalleled 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.
Trueform technology significantly improves jitter performance.
Keysight 33500B Series waveform generators offer the lowest total harmonic
distortion (THD) in its class.

Traditional DDS technology
Faster edge times
The 33500B Series’ 8.4-ns rise and fall times are more than
twice as fast as you’ll find in typical waveform generators. You
can place edges with more confidence and more accurately set
trigger points. Because of the faster transition, higher harmonic
content is created, which helps you expand your understanding
of your circuit.
Typical DDS generator has a higher noise floor and greater harmonics.
