Keysight Technologies 33500B Series Waveform Generators Data Sheet2 Keysight 33500B Series Waveform Generators - Data Sheet Trueform Technology Generate true point-by-point arbitrary waveforms with less jitter, more fidelity and greater resolution 33500B Series waveform generators with exclusive Trueform Revolutionary advances over traditional DDS signal generation technology offer more capability, fidelity and flexibility than traditional DDS generators. Use them to acceler- ate your development process from start to fi nish. Better signal integrity Over the past two decades, direct digital synthesis (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. Trueform at 200 kHz As with any technology, DDS has intrinsic downsides and limita- tions as well. Engineers with exacting requirements have had to either work around the compromised performance or spend up to 10 times more for a high-end, point-by-point waveform generator. DDS at 200 kHz The Keysight Technologies, Inc. Trueform technology offers a new alternative that blends the best of DDS and point-by-point architectures, giving you the benefits of both without the limita- tions of either. Trueform technology uses an exclusive digital sampling technique that delivers unmatched performance at the Reduced jitter same low price you are accustomed to with DDS. The table below highlights the revolutionary capabilities of Trueform technology.
