Fluke 5820A

Flexible solution for oscilloscope calibration.
 

Dedicated oscilloscope calibration that is flexible, powerful and affordable
Calibrates virtually all your digital and analog oscilloscopes quickly, easily and affordably. Even in its basic configuration, the 5820A provides tremendous versatility, allowing you to meet the manufacturer's calibration requirements for oscilloscopes up to 600 MHz.

With its high bandwidth option, the 5820A's performance can be extended still further, to oscilloscopes up to 2.1 GHz. And the 5820A's five-channel output option facilitates fast, hand-free automated calibrations. Best of all, either option can be purchased with a new 5820A, or added later as your needs change and grow.

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 ¾ 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 ¾ everything up to 600 MHz. Its bandwidth extension option lets you extend that capability still further ¾ 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.
