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. (Figure 1)
– On-going insight to measurement data
with graphing and built-in analysis
– All samples per trigger taken
continuously
with no lag between readings, time-
stamped 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 (Figure 2):
– 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,
(Figure 3) including carrier frequency, PRI,
PRF and PW. Compared to other pulsed
RF measurement solutions, the 53230A is:
– Easier to use
– Lower cost
