Keysight (Agilent) 33210A Function / Arbitrary Waveform Generator, 10 MHz

The Keysight 33210A is a 10 MHz Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator employing Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) technology to deliver stable, low-distortion waveforms across research, design, and educational applications. It generates standard waveforms—sine, square, ramp, triangle, pulse, noise, and DC—with sine and square outputs reaching 10 MHz, while ramp outputs extend to 100 kHz and pulse waveforms to 5 MHz with programmable edge-time, period, and width control. Noise bandwidth spans 7 MHz. The optional arbitrary waveform capability (Option 002) provides 14-bit resolution at 50 MSa/s sampling rate with 8K point memory, supporting up to four user-defined waveforms in non-volatile storage. Internal modulation includes AM, FM, and PWM modes with external modulation input. Linear and logarithmic sweep functions operate from 1 ms to 500 s, while burst mode allows user-selectable cycle counts per trigger (sine and square waveforms above 3 MHz require infinite burst). Output amplitude ranges from 10 mVpp to 10 Vpp into 50 Ω nominal impedance, with voltage entry in Vpp, Vrms, dBm, or high/low levels. Harmonic distortion remains low, with spurious output at −75 dBm typical at low amplitude. Frequency resolution reaches 1 µHz against ±20 ppm time base accuracy. An intuitive front panel with graphic display, knob, and numeric keypad enables direct parameter adjustment; built-in help accelerates operation. The optional external frequency reference (Option 001) synchronizes to external 10 MHz sources, other 33210A units, or Keysight 33220A/33250A generators with front-panel or computer-controlled phase adjustment. An internal 10 MHz reference output is available for system synchronization.
