Agilent 8904A Waveform Catalog

Introduction

This catalog is a collection of waveforms created using the Agilent Technologies 8904A Multifunction
Synthesizer. This catalog should not be considered a comprehensive list of waveforms possible with the
8904A Multifunction Synthesizer, but only a small sampling. The catalog is intended to give the 8904A user
an indication of capabilities of the instrument and stimulate ideas for desired waveforms. In most cases,
the waveforms shown can be altered to match an application by changing waveform, their amplitudes or
phases, or by summing additional signals. All waveforms shown require Option 001.

For detailed instructions on the operation of the 8904A, see the Agilent 8904A Multifunction Synthesizer

Basic Operation and Application Guide.

Agilent Technologies’ Test and Measurement
Support, Services, and Assistance

Agilent Technologies aims to maximize the value you receive,
while minimizing your risk and problems. We strive to ensure
that you get the test and measurement capabilities you paid
for and obtain the support you need. Our extensive support
resources and services can help you choose the right Agilent
products for your applications and apply them successfully.
Every instrument and system we sell has a global warranty.
Support is available for at least five years beyond the produc­tion life of the product. Two concepts underlie Agilent’s
overall support policy: “Our Promise” and “Your Advantage.”

Our Promise

“Our Promise” means your Agilent test and measurement equip­ment will meet its advertised performance and functionality.
When you are choosing new equipment, we will help you with
product information, including realistic performance specifica­tions and practical recommendations from experienced test
engineers. When you use Agilent equipment, we can verify that
it works properly, help with product operation, and provide
basic measurement assistance for the use of specified capabili­ties, at no extra cost upon request. Many self-help tools are
available.

Your Advantage

“Your Advantage” means that Agilent offers a wide range of
additional expert test and measurement services, which you
can purchase according to your unique technical and business
needs. Solve problems efficiently and gain a competitive edge
by contracting with us for calibration, extra-cost upgrades, out­of-warranty repairs, and on-site education and training, as well
