Signal fidelity
You depend upon the fidelity of generated signals to verify the development of your designs. The higher the fidelity of the generated signal, the more assurance the device under development will perform to your exacting standards. The Agilent 33500 Series function/arbitrary waveform generators have < 40 ps jitter for any signal — ten times better than existing function/arbitrary waveform generators. They provide 16-bit resolution, which is the highest resolution in their class. Combined with less than 0.04% total harmonic distortion and 250 MSa/s, 16-bit sampling, optional high-stability timebase and optional arbitrary waveform memory expansion, you now have access to an affordable new family of generators with unparallel signal fidelity.

Flexible signal generation
The Agilent 33521A and 33522A have the ability to create two-tone signals for dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signal applications used in telecommunication device test. A feature specific to the Agilent 33522A generator is a flexible, dual-channel mode with frequency and amplitude coupling, differential channels, and combined output channels. This functionality is useful in applications where testing a device, such as a pacemaker, relies on the timing and interaction of two distinct signals to operate properly.

Point-by-point waveforms
The Agilent 33500 Series expands your signaling capability with true point-by-point arbitrary waveforms that are always alias-protected for exceptional accuracy. The Agilent 33521A and Agilent 33522A are first in their class to generate 30 MHz signals, including common waveforms, arbitrary waveforms and sophisticated modulated waveforms. Both models leverage proprietary technology to provide you with unprecedented input control when defining arbitrary waveforms. That control equates to the ability to define more complex point-by-point waveforms with sequencing.

User interface
A large, color, graphical display offers simultaneous parameter setup, signal viewing, and editing for easy operation. Optional BenchLink Waveform Builder Pro software makes it simple to create custom, user-defined waveforms and import other waveforms from MATLAB® and oscilloscope measurements. The Agilent 33500 Series is fully compliant with the LXI Class C specifications and offers USB 2.0 and 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connectivity for quick and easy connectivity to a PC or network. The 33500 Series also supports remote operation using a browser to connect to a built-in Web page. GPIB is offered as an optional interface.
