Agilent 53220A Universal Frequency Counter/Timer: Core Performance and Technical Features

Exceptional Frequency and Time Measurement Capability:

Direct Frequency Measurement Range: DC to 350 MHz (extendable to higher frequencies via down-converters).

Frequency Measurement Resolution: Achieves up to 9 digits/second with a 1-second gate time. Under optimal configurations, time interval measurement resolution can reach 12 ps (single-shot) or 150 fs (averaged).

Utilizes multi-time averaging technology, significantly enhancing the resolution and accuracy of time interval measurements through statistical averaging.

Rich Measurement Modes and Analysis Functions:

Supports multiple measurements including frequency, period, time interval, pulse width, rise/fall time, phase, duty cycle, and voltage peak.

Provides statistical parameters such as maximum/minimum/mean values, standard deviation, and Allan Deviation for analyzing signal stability.

Features PASS/FAIL testing and limit testing functions, suitable for rapid production line screening.

Flexible Input and Trigger System:

Two independent input channels (CH1, CH2), each with adjustable trigger level, impedance, and coupling modes.

Supports various trigger modes (edge, window, glitch trigger) to accommodate complex signal measurements.

High input sensitivity (typically < 10 mVrms @ 100 MHz) enables measurement of weak signals.

Powerful Connectivity and Automation Capability:

Standard interfaces include GPIB (IEEE-488), LAN (LXI-C), and USB, supporting remote control and automated testing.

Built-in 512,000 reading non-volatile memory for data logging and batch transfer.

Provides 10 MHz reference input/output, allowing synchronization to a more precise external timebase or output as a clock source.

Typical Application Scenarios:

Crystal and Oscillator Testing: Measuring crystal resonant frequency, stability (Allan Deviation), and phase noise (indirectly).

Communication Equipment Clock Verification: Testing carrier frequency and local oscillator frequency accuracy of transmitters/receivers.

Time Interval and Propagation Delay Measurement: Used in laser ranging, circuit transmission delay, radar pulse interval, and other precise time measurements.

Physics Experiments and Research: Precise time-correlated counting or event timing in experiments such as quantum optics and atomic physics.

Production Line Component Testing: Rapid functional and parametric testing of components like crystal oscillators and timer ICs.

Professional Calibration Ensures Traceability in Time and Frequency:

The accuracy of the 53220A relies on the precision and stability of its internal timebase (TCXO or OCXO) and the linearity of its time interval measurement circuit (TAC). Its calibration must be traceable to higher-level time and frequency standards.

Shenzhen Bao'an District Shajing Fangfengrui Instrument Equipment Business Department can provide critical support in this area:

Timebase Frequency Accuracy Calibration: Calibrating the absolute frequency accuracy and daily stability of the instrument's internal timebase using rubidium or GPS-disciplined frequency standards traceable to national time and frequency benchmarks.

Time Interval Measurement Linearity Calibration: Calibrating measurement linearity and absolute accuracy across time intervals from nanoseconds to seconds using calibrated precision delay generators.

Frequency Measurement Function Calibration: Calibrating frequency measurement accuracy and sensitivity across frequency bands using high-precision frequency standard sources.
