Setting Standards

Agilent Technologies 8133A 3 GHz Pulse Generator Technical Specifications
The need for pulse generation is fundamental to any device characterization task. The ability to emulate the pulse conditions to which the device will be subjected is essential. This emulation should include both typical and worst case conditions. Such accurate emulation requires superlative signal integrity and timing performance.
Setting Standards
The Agilent 8133A 3 GHz Pulse Generator provides pulses with programmable period from 333 ps to 30 ns, full 3 GHz pulse capability on all channels. The pulse width can be programmed too, along with a delay or the interchannel delay. At these frequency ranges the transition time performance becomes critical less than 100 ps is specified, less than 60 ps is typical, so excellent signal integrity is assured. And last but not least, a typical jitter of 1 ps creates precise and accurate timing conditions.
Pulse and Data Functionality
Human Interface
The Agilent 8133A is available in four different configurations. The differences are timing capabilities and number of channels with different functionality.

Divide
In Pulse and Square modes, the frequency of Channel 2 can be divided by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64. The minimum Channel 2 frequency is 1 MHz.
Level / Pulse Performance Characteristics
The output voltage can be set in amplitude / offset or high- / low level mode. Levels double when driving into open circuits.
Limit
Maximum high and low levels into 50 W can be limited to protect the device under test. Pushing the limit key declares present levels as limits which then cannot be exceeded as long as this mode is active.
