Signal Generators

Agilent has a number of product families that can be used to generate electronic to nanoscale devices. The Agilent function generators include built-in waveforms such as sine, square, triangular, and pulse or one can download a custom waveform. Pulse pattern generators provide smaller pulses over a wider frequency range. And Agilent signal generators make it possible to stimulate nanoscale materials and devices at much higher frequencies and can modulate the signals.
