Today‘s Challenges Require
a New Generation of Test
Instruments
You are under pressure to get products to market faster and faster, with shrinking design
schedules and increasing quality goals. The pressure is never ending. Because differentia-
tion means survival in the marketplace, you often have to test unique functionality. Being
confident in your results takes highly adaptable and efficient testing.
Such challenges require a new generation of test instruments, which are:
• Accurate, to test your device and not your source
• Versatile, to be ready for today’s and tomorrows test challenges
• Plug and play solutions, with minimal cabling, low space overhead and
have many functions built-in
Whichever way you look at it, this starts with accurate, versatile and uncompromising
signal sources.
Just test — with the signal you need.
Quad versatility - Optimum signal fidelity

• A pulse generator with precise signals for performance verification and characterization
• A function arbitrary generator
◦ For versatile signal generation to optimize testing
◦ For modulation to shape the signal the DUT needs
• A noise generator to distort signals to build up worst case scenarios
• An optional Pattern Generator to test in addition to analog, digital and mixed signal
devices with ideal and real-world conditions
The new Agilent 81150A pulse function arbitrary noise generator is an indispensable
contributor to accelerate ideal and real-world testing.

Pulse Generator – Test
Your Device and Not Your
Source
Superior precision pulses with unbeatable timing stability guarantee reproducible tests.
The signal quality and trigger functionality provide everything you need for trigger or
system clock applications.
You can change the timing parameters (delay, frequency, transition time, width, duty cy-
cle) without dropouts or glitches. This patented, industry-leading feature means continu-
ous operation without having to reboot or reset your device under test, for example when
you are characterizing a device by sweeping the clock frequency. Apart from full control of
the timing parameters, you can also adjust levels and edges as needed.
81150A channel 1 pulse setup
Set up complex measurements
The Agilent 81150A pulse function arbitrary noise generator is available in a 1 or 2
channel version. On the two channel version, the channels can be uncoupled, to work
independently, or coupled, for example, with a defined delay between them.
Each channel provides trigger out, strobe out and differential outputs: the basis for many
complex test set ups.
