What it is

The Keysight 33120A is a function and arbitrary waveform generator.[2][4][5]

How it works

The 33120A uses direct digital synthesis to create stable output signals.[4][5]

The 33120A provides standard sine, square, triangle, ramp, noise, and other waveforms, and it includes arbitrary waveform capability with 12-bit resolution and a 40 MSa/s sampling rate.[2][4][5]

The 33120A includes internal AM, FM, FSK, burst, and sweep functions for modulation and signal variation.[2][4][5]

Where it fits in the process flow

The 33120A also fits in automated test setups because it supports GPIB and RS-232 interfaces and SCPI programmability.[2][4][5]

Applications

The 33120A is used for general-purpose electronic signal generation, including sine, square, triangle, ramp, noise, and arbitrary waveforms.[2][4][5]

The 33120A supports tasks such as waveform creation, modulation testing, swept-frequency testing, and phase-related signal generation when fitted with the phase-lock and TCXO option.[2][4][5]
