The Keysight / Agilent 53147A is everything you need for the installation and maintenance of microwave links: – A choice of frequency counter ranges up to 46 GHz – A true power meter to meet your “laboratory-accuracy” requirements in the field – A dc DVM to assist with antenna alignment and telecom power supply measurements – Lightweight, rugged and a battery option for complete portability in the field. Whether you are installing or maintaining cell-site to base-station links, business-to-business communication links, digital radio links (along railroads, pipelines or power lines) or even satellite ground stations, installing and maintaining microwave links typically requires three pieces of equipment. These are a CW microwave counter, a true power meter and a dc DVM.
The Agilent 53147A Series reduces the weight, volume and hassle of carrying multiple pieces of equipment in the field by combining these three instruments into one. Its rubber bumpers make it rugged and ready to withstand the elements. A soft carrying case option makes transit to the field easy and has a pouch for accessory storage. You will not have to worry about ac power availability at the site with the 53147A battery option. Plus its LCD display with a switchable backlight saves on battery life.
For measurements used in microwave component and assembly testing, the compact, three-in-one 53147A Series reduces the need for expensive ATE rack space. The 53147A Series comes ATE-ready with both GPIB and RS-232 SCPI programmable interfaces. A rack mount kit is optional.
Choose the frequency range you need. The 53147A Series has three ranges; 20 GHz, 26.5 GHz and 46 GHz. The ultra-wideband microwave input covers from 50 MHz up to the maximum frequency. This reduces the need for channel switching. You don’t have to wait for resolution that is not needed as the resolution is selectable from 1 Hz to 1 MHz. For better measurement accuracy over time and temperature, an optional oven timebase is available.
