Description: The powerful 5820A Oscilloscope Calibrator is a complete, yet flexible solution for oscilloscope calibration. It calibrates virtually all digital and analog oscilloscopes quickly, easily and affordably. The 5820A is compact, portable and rugged. On the bench, its small footprint leaves you plenty of workspace. Outside the lab, it's easy to carry, without the need for extra accessories like pulse heads. Additional features include an auxiliary feed-through channel that lets you work with external generators up to 2.4 GHz. And there's an external frequency reference input that allows you to enhance the 5820A's frequency accuracy by locking it to an external 10 MHz reference.
The 5820A calibrator provides you with all the functions required to fully verify the performance of any oscilloscope with a bandwidth up to 2.1 GHz, checking amplitude, time, and bandwidth. It performs the following tests:
Amplitude (vertical deflection) - verifies the performance of all the deflection-related circuitry for amplitude accuracy in each range, using dc or square wave signals.
Fast Edge (dynamic response) - verifies the vertical amplifiers, attenuators, analog-to-digital converters in DSOs, and all other vertical deflection
circuitry for transient response. It provides a =< 150 ps edge for scopes up to 2.1 GHz.
Time Marks (horizontal timing) - verify frequency, accuracy and linearity with a +/- 0.33 ppm accuracy, more than enough to calibrate the most
demanding digital oscilloscopes. Pulsed sawtooth, square and 20% pulse wave forms are provided. The 5820A also supports the use of an extended
frequency reference for even higher frequency accuracy.
Leveled Sine Wave (bandwidth verification) - a 50 kHz to 2.1 GHz leveled sine wave source with excellent flatness and amplitude accuracy determines
the 3 dB roll-off point of the oscilloscope and detects other discontinuities and drop outs.
