Function and waveform generators provide the test signals needed for testing analog circuits. They range from simple generators providing sine and square waves through highly programmable generators providing complex waveforms.

The Laboratory has various signal generators, including

• Agilent 33120 Arbitrary Waveform Generator (15 MHz)
• Agilent 8648B Signal Generator (9 KHz to 2.5 GHz)
• HP 1335 Synthesizer
• HP 3336B Synthesizer
• General Radio 1390B Random Noise Generator. No manual yet
• Wandel & Goltermann RG-1 Noise Generator. (0-100Khz). No manual yet
