The 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 to do the job without having to
buy capabilities you don't need.
The 5820A is designed for just that situation, where the bulk of
your workload consists of oscilloscopes, either in-lab or on-site.
It's designed to calibrate all the ranges of functions of the vast
majority of digital and analog oscilloscopes in use or being
purchased today.
Portable and rugged enough for on-site applications
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.
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 allows you to perform
fast, hands-free automated calibrations with documented procedures
and results while freeing the operator to complete other work - a
dramatic productivity improvement. Plus, 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. Its
bandwidth extension option lets you extend that capability still
further - to oscilloscopes with bandwidths up to 2.1 GHz. The
option can be purchased installed in a new 5820A, or it can be
added later as your workload demands it. Either way, you purchase
exactly what you need today, with the flexibility to adapt as your
needs change.
Auxiliary feed-through channel and external frequency reference
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.
Complete oscilloscope verification
The 5820A calibrator provides you with all the functions required
to fully verify the performance of any oscilloscope with a
bandwidth up to 600 MHz, checking amplitude, time, and bandwidth.
The 5820A is available with an option to extend that capability to
2.1 GHz.
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. The 5820A's standard £ 300 ps fast edge is more than adequate for most oscilloscopes up
to 1 GHz. The 5820A-GHz option 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 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 detect
other discontinuities and drop outs.
