Precision Frequency Comparator VCH-314Frequency comparator VCH-314 is intended for precise phase and frequency instability measurements. It contains two identical measuring channels (four input signals). Using cross-correlation technique in allows to obtain super-low measurement error and to calculate frequency instability of each single signal separately.
Key Applications
- Verification of metrological parameters of precision frequency signals sources;
- time keeping metrology systems;
- development, production and tests of frequency and time standards;
- scientific research measurements.
Specifications
Input signals: 5 or 10 or 100 MHz nominal frequency, (0.8÷1.2) V into 50 Ω load.
