What it is

The 33600A Series includes models with bandwidths of 80 MHz and 120 MHz, available in one-channel and two-channel configurations. Key specifications include a sampling rate of 1 GSa/s, 14-bit amplitude resolution, and a standard arbitrary waveform memory of 4 MSa per channel, which can be expanded to 64 MSa with an optional upgrade. The generators employ Keysight's Trueform technology, providing jitter of less than 1 ps and total harmonic distortion of 0.03%, representing significant improvements over traditional direct digital synthesis (DDS) generators.[2][4][3][5]
