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
confi dent in your results takes highly adaptable and effi cient 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 fi delity
The Agilent 81150A and 81160A Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generators set the
standard for the next generation of lab: for fast, accurate insight into your design or device
under test. Both of them offer:
• Pulse generators 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 Agilent 81150A and the new Agilent 81160A Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise
Generators are indispensable contributors to accelerate ideal and real-world testing.
