Keysight / Agilent 81130A Pulse Data Generator, 400/660 MHz and 1.32 Gb/s

The Keysight 81130A Pulse Data Generator Mainframe is a highly versatile tool designed for advanced signal generation, tailored to meet the complex stimuli requirements of modern electronic devices. When paired with one or two output modules, you can achieve exceptional performance as a 400 MHz precision single/dual-channel generator using the 81131A modules or escalate to a 600 MHz/1.32 Gbps capability with the 81132A modules. It is worth noting that the output modules cannot be utilized simultaneously in the same mainframe.

Engineered for precision, the Keysight 81130A can sequence and loop its memory for deep pattern generation, enabling the production of intricate digital signals. With functionalities for digital channel additions, it facilitates generating signals with differing pulse widths and delays alongside data rates reaching 1.32 Gbit/s in a single channel. Its operational frequency range spans from 170 kHz to 400/660 MHz, with extended capabilities down to 1 kHz.
