Find and Resolve Problems Faster
The Keysight 53200 Series frequency counter/timers give you more insight into your signals so you can solve design and manufacturing problems faster:
Application:
Crystal/oscillator components
How the 53230A helps:
Easily observe the stability of your clocks over time
Take advantage of continuous/gap-free measurements with timestamps to measure the stability of your clocks over time. See changes in the Allan Deviation over a series of measurements.
- On-going insight to measurement data with graphing and built-in analysis
- All samples per trigger taken continuously with no lag between readings, timestamped for further stability analysis
Application:
Communications equipment
How the 53200 Series helps: Make and analyze highly accurate jitter and wander measurements without spending a fortune
Whether you’re taking slow, high precision measurements over a long period of time, or fast measurements over a short time, you can use your Keysight 53200 Series frequency counter as a low-cost, highly accurate jitter and wander analysis solution:
- See histograms of a block of data
- Watch trends and changes of your frequency over a series of measurements
- Use markers to view specific data points
- Analyze your results with math functions: mean, standard deviation, Allan Deviation, etc.
Application:
Radar equipment
How the 53230A helps:
Minimize errors in your transmitted signals
Now there’s a low-cost way to verify the accuracy of transmitted signals to increase your confidence in your target data.
Use the Keysight 53230A universal frequency counter/timer to make high-resolution pulse/burst microwave frequency measurements, including carrier frequency, PRI, PRF and PW. Compared to other pulsed RF measurement solutions, the 53230A is:
- Easier to use
- Lower cost
