Keysight / Agilent 53149A Microwave Frequency Counter/Power Meter/DVM
Elevate your microwave measurement capabilities with the Keysight / Agilent 53149A, a versatile 46 GHz CW microwave frequency counter that seamlessly integrates the functions of a true power meter and a dedicated dc DVM into one compact unit. This innovative device is specifically designed to enhance the installation and maintenance of point-to-point microwave links, offering a space-saving solution for your ATE system.
With ATE-ready features, the 53149A is equipped with both GPIB and RS-232 SCPI programmable interfaces, making it effortlessly compatible with various automation setups. The device includes a ±50 Vdc DVM which monitors the AGC circuitry of microwave receivers, facilitating precise antenna alignment. Additionally, it allows for testing of the typically found –48 Vdc power supplies at telecom sites, ensuring comprehensive functionality.
Why carry multiple devices when the Keysight 53149A combines three essential instruments into one streamlined system? Its relative readings for frequency and power measurements help you quickly assess deviations from nominal values, while the offset reading feature enables you to indirectly measure both final frequency and power values. The built-in averaging function smooths out rapid fluctuations on the display, providing a clearer, more stable view of your measurements.
Worried about AC power availability? The Keysight 53149A offers a robust battery option, allowing for flexibility during field operations. Its LCD display, complete with a switchable backlight, not only enhances visibility in various lighting conditions but also extends battery life to maximize your operational efficiency.
