Product Overview

The Keysight 81150A (Agilent) Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator, designed for best signal generation and optimum signal fidelity, is four instruments in one, and is perfect for accelerated ideal and real-world testing. The Pulse Generator lets you test your device, not your source, and provides superior precision pulses with highest timing stability that guarantees reproducible tests. The Pattern Generator's arbitrary bit-shaping emulates real-world conditions. The Function Arbitrary Generator lets you stress your device to its limits with versatile waveforms and modulation capabilities that adopt your signal to any real world signal. The Noise Generator combines repeatable noise with long repetition rates for simple problem identification.

The 2 channel version of the Agilent 81150A Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator allows coupling / uncoupling of the channels so that you can generate signals with a defined delay or the channels work entirely independent. The channel add function allows you to add a distorted signal from one channel to a clean signal from the other channel.
