Fluke 5820A Multi Product Calibrator with 600 MHz and 2.1 GHz Bandwidth Five Channel Oscilloscope Calibrator

In many calibration and service applications, a dedicated tool is often the best match to your workload. It allows you to purchase exactly the functionality you need without buying capabilities you don't require.

The 5820A is designed specifically for situations where the bulk of your workload consists of oscilloscopes, either in-lab or on-site. It's engineered to calibrate all the ranges and functions of the vast majority of digital and analog oscilloscopes in use or being purchased today.

The 5820A is compact, portable, and rugged. On the bench, its small footprint leaves plenty of workspace. Outside the lab, it's easy to carry without the need for extra accessories like pulse heads.

For automated applications, the five-channel option allows you to calibrate up to four oscilloscope channels with trigger simultaneously without changing cables. This enables fast, hands-free automated calibrations with documented procedures and results while freeing the operator to complete other work - delivering dramatic productivity improvement. The external trigger allows you to work with tough-to-capture signals like fast edges simultaneously.

The standard 5820A is designed to calibrate the bulk of your oscilloscope calibration workload - everything up to 600 MHz. The bandwidth extension option extends this capability further to oscilloscopes with bandwidths up to 2.1 GHz. This option can be purchased installed in a new 5820A or added later as your workload demands, providing flexibility to adapt as your needs change.

• Auxiliary feed-through channel for working with external generators up to 2.4 GHz
• External frequency reference input to enhance frequency accuracy by locking to an external 10 MHz reference

The 5820A calibrator provides all functions required to fully verify the performance of any oscilloscope with bandwidth up to 600 MHz, checking amplitude, time, and bandwidth. Available with an option to extend capability to 2.1 GHz.

Verifies performance of all deflection-related circuitry for amplitude accuracy in each range using DC or square wave signals.

Verifies vertical amplifiers, attenuators, analog-to-digital converters in DSOs, and all other vertical deflection circuitry for transient response. Standard £300 ps fast edge is adequate for most oscilloscopes up to 1 GHz. The 5820A-GHz option provides £150 ps edge for up to 2.1 GHz.

Verifies frequency, accuracy and linearity with ±0.33 ppm accuracy, sufficient to calibrate the most demanding digital oscilloscopes. Provides pulsed sawtooth, square and 20% pulse waveforms. Supports extended frequency reference for higher frequency accuracy.

50 kHz to 600 MHz leveled sine wave source (extendible to 2.1 GHz with option) with excellent flatness and amplitude accuracy determines the 3 dB roll-off point of the oscilloscope and detects other discontinuities and drop outs.
