    The 5340A Frequency Counter is an easily used, versatile instrument for direct measurement of frequencies from 10 Hz to 18 GHz via a single input connector. The exceptional sensitivity of this instrument enhances measurement in the microwave field, where signals are commonly low-level and connected via directional coupler or lossy devices.

    Factory Specs:
  • Single input 10 Hz to 18 GHz
  • 1 Hz to 1 MHz resolution
  • High stability time base
  • Automatic amplitude discrimination
  • High sensitivity -35 dBm
  • High AM and FM tolerance.
  • Exceptional reliability

    OPTIONS:
    Option 001 - Oven Controlled Oscillator (OCXO)(br)
    Option 005 - Frequency Range Extension to 23 GHz
    Option 011 - HPIB
