Practical 5820A Fluke Multifunction Calibrator, Five Channel Multi
Product Calibrator
Fluke 5820A Multi-Product Calibrator
Dedicated Calibration Solution for Workloads to 600 MHz and Beyond
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.
Portable and Rugged Design for On-Site Applications
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.
Five-Channel Option for Fast Automated Calibrations
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.
Calibrate Oscilloscopes to 2.1 GHz
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.
Additional Features
- 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
Complete Oscilloscope Verification
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.
Amplitude (Vertical Deflection)
Verifies performance of all deflection-related circuitry for
amplitude accuracy in each range using DC or square wave signals.
Fast Edge (Dynamic Response)
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.
Time Marks (Horizontal Timing)
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.
Leveled Sine Wave (Bandwidth Verification)
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.
