33600a Series waveform generators offer the
following advantages:

Lowest jitter

With 1 ps jitter, 200x better than DDS generators, 33600A Series
waveform generators offer unparalleled edge stability. You can even use
them as a system clock for timing and triggering your other instruments.
With better jitter performance, you can place edges more accurately,
helping you reduce timing errors in your circuit design.

Lowest harmonic distortion

With total harmonic distortion of just 0.03%, the 33600A Series offers
5x better fidelity than other generators. Clean, spurious-free signals
don’t introduce noise or artifacts. See your design’s characteristics, not
the waveform generator’s, in your measurements.

Faster edge times

The 33600A Series’ 2.9-ns rise and fall times are more than twice as
fast as you’ll find in typical waveform generators. You can place edges
with more confidence and more accurately set trigger points. Because
of the faster transition, higher harmonic content is created, which
helps you expand your understanding of your circuit.

Signal integrity: test your devices with conidence
that your signal generator is outputting
the signals you expect

Agilent 33600A Series waveform generators offer the
lowest total harmonic distortion (THD) in its class.

Typical DDS generator has a higher noise floor and greater harmonics.

Traditional DDS technology

If your generator is introducing spurious signals or harmonics, you’ll have
a hard time producing reliable designs. To be successful, you need to test
with clean, precise, low-noise signals. Agilent 33600A Series waveform
generators offer the highest signal fidelity so you can generate the exact
waveforms you need for your most challenging measurements. You can be
confident you are seeing your design’s characteristics, and not that of your
waveform generator, in your measurements.
