KEYSIGHT FG33530 Series, 100 MHz Arbitrary Waveform Generators Introduction
KEYSIGHT FG33530 Series arbitrary waveform generators offer up to 100 MHz bandwidth, seamless modulation and burst features, and dual-channel options. Thanks to Trueform technology and up to 16 MSa per channel, they deliver outstanding waveform fidelity, ultra-low jitter (<50 ps), and THD below 0.06%. The 7-inch color display, color-coded controls, generous standard memory, and advanced connectivity (USB, LAN/LXI) make them ideal for R&D benches, education, and automated environments.
- Two models: FG33531A (100 MHz, single channel), FG33532A (100 MHz, dual channel, with channel coupling, sync, sum, track, differential modes)
- Trueform arbitrary waveform technology: 320 MSa/s, 16-bit resolution, up to 16 MSa memory per channel (with option)
- 17 built-in waveforms plus specialty and cardiac, PRBS, noise, sinc, haversine and more
- Six built-in modulations: AM, FM, PM, FSK, BPSK, PWM; plus sweep and counted/gated burst modes
- Import and replay oscilloscope-captured signals directly (from .csv up to 3.5 MB)
- User-friendly 7-inch color display for setup and dual-channel operation; color-coded keypad and output connectors
- Memory: 8 MSa standard per channel, upgradeable to 16 MSa (option)
- USB device, USB host (front), LAN/LXI Core, SCPI, IVI driver, and web interface support
Target Applications
- Complex waveform testing for R&D, verification, and design validation
- Sensor, actuator, and transducer simulation
- Mixed-signal and functional test automation
- Education and advanced training labs
- Signal integrity, EMC/EMI pre-compliance stimulus
- Medical, automotive, industrial, and energy device testing
Competitive Advantages
- Trueform technology: Unmatched signal integrity, ultra-low jitter, low harmonic distortion
- Dual-channel flexibility (FG33532A): Independent/coupled/combined operation, differential and sum modes
- Direct oscilloscope signal replay: Import signals from .csv with auto scaling and preview
- Intuitive interface: Big color display, color-coded keys/connectors, easy file export/import
- Advanced connectivity: USB host/device, LAN/LXI Core, IVI and SCPI for automation
