Using a Waveform Generator to Generate a PRBS Signal

应用文章

Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) signals are very useful in digital communication testing. They may be generated by a Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) like the one shown in Figure 1. Note that in the figure the branches after register cells 5 and 9 are called taps. The configuration of the LFSR and its taps determines the PRBS waveform.

 

The Keysight 33600A Trueform waveform generators can easily generate PRBS signals for use in a range of applications. See our test challenge examples below to learn how PRBS signals and Trueform technology can help you.
