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