Convenience, portability and outstanding performance

The innovative designs of the

Agilent 53150 Series microwave counters offer an uncluttered, featureladen front panel. These designs present no-compromise performance and quality in a surprisingly small, light, battery operated product.

The convenience of a single microwave input

The Agilent 53150 Series has an advanced sampler that integrates a separate zero bias Schottky diode for the accurate measurement of input power. This allows measurement of both frequency and power with a single connection. No compromise in frequency coverage is required for this capability. The ultrawideband microwave input covers the entire

RF and microwave spectrum, from intermediate frequencies IFs) of

50 MHz to millimeter waves.

The power measurement accuracy and repeatability of these counters rivals power meters with diode sensors. Since frequency and power of the input signal are measured simultaneously, adjustment for the diode’s frequency response is done automatically. And like the latest in diode sensors, compensation is also made for deviation from square law.

Field tough but ready for benchtop or ATE applications

The Agilent 53150 Series is as comfortable in the field as in the laboratory.

The rugged case with an integrated tilting handle can tolerate the vibration and shock expected in field use.

The backlit LCD display ensures visibility in all environments, from dark to full sunlight, at distances exceeding 15 feet.

If AC power is unavailable, the internal, replaceable camcorder batteries provide at least 2.5 hours of continuous operation. The unit can also be powered from an external 11-18 VDC source.

For benchtop and ATE applications, the Agilent 53150 Series delivers full functionality and high measurement speed. The fully programmable

RS-232 interface and high speed

GPIB interface are standard features.

No compromise performance

The Agilent 53150 Series offers exceptional sensitivity by utilizing a single board design with low phase noise PLL circuitry. Despite their simple appearance, these counters retain all the powerful functions one expects in precision instrumentation: measurement averaging, arbitrary as well as nulling offsets for both frequency and power, display of power in either dBm or Watts.

Additional capabilities include full control of resolution, sampling rate, and GPIB address, plus extensive self-diagnostics, fast acquisition times and full programmability.

Performance surpasses the industry standard Agilent 5350 Series, in virtually every aspect, in a package less than half the weight and size.
